Cactus Craft of Arizona
Founded in the late '40s by Carlos Velasco, this Tucson, Arizona company produced lamps and other novelty items with cholla wood (from cactus) as the primary component. Western motifs were predominant, often conestoga wagons. More information on this company is detailed in my blog page, Manufacturer Profile: Cactus Craft.
