Given the description and photos, I have nothing. What base is it in type assuming E-26 but not assuming. Gel frames as seemingly were at times added to fit a different style, but than of course I have ended up with a hotel reading lamp of similar design style into the collection in similar. Think I have something from like 1903' ish, and not similar in gel frame, but also similar in gel frame by way of materials used to stack up the spacer for it.

Post a lot more photos or send it to me and I'll look into it further.
