1970's Novelty Lamp?

Hi, well I think that this is some kind art deco or novelty lamp. I'm 41yrs old and Mom had this in the house since I was a little kid.

It's really neat, when you turn it on the buld warms up and it generates heat, from the heat it begins to rotate the interior cylinder that sits upon a pointed stem.

The outside is like a lamp shade but sits and covers the entire buld and stem and becomes the lamp. This one that I have pictures 5 cowboys next to a fire and a waterfall scene. When the bulb is on and the interior cylinder rotates around it gives the effect of the fire burning and the water moving.

The ficture that holds the buld reads LEVITON on it. That's all I have to go by.

Just wondering if someone knows of these and some kind of value it may have.

Thanks!

just-geese, I had my room wall papered with Hopalong Cassidy wall paper when I was 8 years old! He was on a rearing horse swinging a rope overhead that was in the shape of his name. It would have been a boys dream to have that lamp!
You can still find them now and then. My grandaughter has one with Snow White or one of the other Disney princesses on it in her room. We had that same hunting scene lamp in our house when I was a kid in the 50s. I was there too PBK! Monty
