There's no markings, writing or identifiers on inside or bottom.
It's also too thin for an artillery shell.
I believe your lamp was originally a whale oil lamp that was converted in the 20th century. It cannot be an artillery shell because there is an obvious seam in the cylinder that indicates that it was made from a single sheet of brass that was rolled…
It looks Japanese to me? Can you see if there are any markings on the bottom? If it is made of an artillery shell this is called "Trench art". Made by soldiers in both world wars. And very collectible!
It could be made from an Artillery Shell?
Cool.
I'll take the base off.
I don't know if Artillery Shells came in that size, if you took it off the base you might see the firing pin. Other than that, not much more can be said, it could be American made or not. These items can be hard to ID in Photos, and it's hand done,…

It's a good idea to check all the wiring and connections in an old lamp before you use it.

Should I take it apart for further examination…

the Ballgame," during the Seventh-Inning Stretch at a Wrigley Field (Chicago Cubs) game I attended.
After the game, I was walking into a bar when he was w…
Thanks Randi,
The full display looks great but the little guy cracks me up on his own !
I found an eight inch figure of "Big D" from Drewry's Beer.
Was he a popular advertising figure? He looks representitive of a
50"s and 60"s style of advertisment.
Thanks for your help !
Is anyone familar with an advertising figure..."Big D" from Drewry's Beer?
I found this plastic figure, 8 inches high. He seems like a 50's or early 60's
type of mascot.
