Found a great lamp at the dump store. Made of thin wood strips. It is labeled Ikea on the ceiling mount, but am wondering if it is Ikea at all, or if someone just used the Ikea hardware on it. Any Ideas??

I'm guessing...
...not IKEA. Only because I got a similar lamp made of very thin wood strips but in a boxy configuration and it was made in Finland in the early 70s. Mine was assembled but I've seen these in the original kit form. I think they were originally inexpensive. I sold mine on ebay for $200, which was about 100 times more than I paid for it at a junk auction!
Ooh, and whaddya know, I saved the pics of it all these years!
look inside
Look at every surface inside the lamp. If I remember correctly, mine had a small sticker on an inner surface that said "made in finland" and maybe the manufacturer's name.
You could also look up "lamp kit finland" on ebay. There may be nothing right now but if you check regularly for a few weeks or even months, something might show up. You can have them email you search results if you don't want to bother checking online yourself.
pegboard
I think you might be right.
The first one below is a round lamp similar to the one in the original post. The second is one almost identical to mine.
They might be Finnish kit knockoffs, though. Mine looks clunkier than the Swedish one. And I'm pretty sure it was made in Finland.

Most likely Hans-Agne Jakobsson
I own one. known for split wood lamps. Usually, very thin ash splints that 'sit' into supports.
Marks:
1. Look for a fire brand of Hans-Agne Jakobsson, usually on a support (not the actual split ash, but on a support)
2. Look for small nails. No glue on these! It is as if little elves put little nails into each split and support.
