I doubt it is a 3 way.  It has a switch that you press.  To the right on, to the left off (depending on the orientation of the lamp of course) 

I have little doubt it was from the 50's or 60's.  My grandparents moved in shortly before then and the lamp sat all these years waiting to be repaired.  Think I'll see if I can get it professionally restored or at least restored to working condition before selling it.

Thanks for the tips.

There is nothing under the base.  No numbers, stamps, or anything else

I am new here because I never had any experience with Antiques.  I was cleaning out my grandparents house and came across an old brass lamp.  I doubt it works.  I'm not sure if the glass is cracked, or if it's suppose to look this way.  It has no marks to tell me who made it so it is mass produced.  I have no clue what to do.  Is it something worth restoring?  I really wanted to sell it more than anything, but not sure what it is worth.  I realize I can't get a lot for it in this condition, but unless I can find a reliable person to restore it, I'd rather just sell it and be done with it.
