As to age, I would have to say...
Sometime after the invention of electricity, but before the advent of interior decorating!

 

[jewelerguy]

that's crazy looking. was it originally made that way, or was later modified? I would guess late 1930's

All I can say is wow.Medusa as a roman soldier.

He's just a little light headed.

It appears to have been made this way by the protruding casting holes in the head. I've seen many spelter Soldier lamps, but none in this style. I would date this 1920's-1930's. That dude looks tough compared to some of the sissy looking Roman soldiers depicted on others. It is spelter not bronze, correct? No markings anywhere I would guess?

1930's is my guess. They should start a forum for us to guess on what you'll buy next.

You gotta be kidding me ! Mike Wolfe would kiss your butt for that, on national TV !

Whoever made that sure had a sense of humor, or an aneurysm.

I take back what I said about interior decorating.

I found an identical warrior/soldier albeit a different base and it's not a lamp.
