A little help in ID'ing this one

[Scott]

Hi All, I found this lamp in Boston last year but forgot about it.  I think it is a Century but I have never seen one that comes apart like this. The base is completely separate from the rest of the lamp.  The top part also slides up an down, the only piece holding it all together is the lamp cord.  Looks more like a prototype than a retail model.  Any ideas or is this the way the older unit were?

Thanks, Scott

it's the first generation of the century, the very first ones did have a separate plastic part

Thanks Gwen...Any idea of the year?  I'm thinking late 60's? Scott
