Here's the other end of the cord, it has been replaced with a generic screw-down lamp plug that was common around the early 1970's. There was a couple of lamps in my house that were fixed with these plug ends, due to the original cords being smashed behind a dresser and damaged. This I suspect that this cord got damaged by someone that liked to pull cords out of the wall from 5-10 feet away.
