That is different that it is made out of plastic, I thought it was metal. It looks like most of the parts could be replaced if needed.

The lamp itself was made in March '80, the final year for that etch. Very nice unit!

Sears made their own lights at one point?

Jace kept telling me Sears made gumballs.

I'm guessing this sears isn't the same as the store Sears....

Sears also sold preheaters and ready to assemble houses under their name a while back.

I wish Sears still sold light fixtures. i bought a nice winter jacket their.

I heard Sears sold T17s at one point.

Yep they had their own brand bulbs and fixtures way back, the incandescents were all made by Westinghouse except the decor bulbs which were made either by Sylvania or by a small manufacturer in Holland.

Jace was talking about my experience, I vaguely remember a gumball for sale in its box at sears!

Gumball?!
