Ed,

I'm confused (nothing unusual in that) but do you mean the clip that's normally part of the lamp ?

have quite a few NoS Sturmey-Archer clips that were used for attaching a variety of lamps to any of the "standard" raleigh (English ?) type lamp brackets, but on the whole these chrome-plated clips came as part of the lamp. If this is what you are looking for and you are unable to find them locally you can have these at a $2 each (+ nominal postage to the U.S.) If you need to be sure, I can forward a picture off-list.

Best regards

Bob (very illuminating) Reid Stonehaven Scotland
