Challenge! What is this lamp??

Here's an interesting challenge. This is an all wood lamp probably
made out of walnut. Rather old (or at least old looking), I'd say
about 20-30 years. It has no wiring in it and does not appear to have
ever had any but it does have a continuous path from the brass tip to
the base and out, so I am guessing that it is a prototype. The
obvious guess is that its from Aladdin (with that Aladdin Lamp on top
:) )
It's 4'6" tall. On the bottom I can make out "Chicago A14", and
"Brass 8 F1". Any ideas??
Thanks!

Doesn't LOOK like any other Aladdin floor lamp I've ever seen,
but the trademark connection seems a darn good guess! Wire it up and
use it...may well be a one-of-a-kind!

The base is wood on top. Underneath it is a pot-metal/iron like
substance. There is a very long pipe/lag bolt that goes from top to
base that holds it all
together.
