Hi Jonathan,
Apologies for not getting back to you sooner on this; in the end, we had to ask a few people. While colleagues could tell me that Ray Fisher began making lighting in 1965, no-one knows when it ceased production. As a single lamp, this is a bit of a novelty and fun for collectors of vintage lighting.
Thanks,
Delia
