Leviton, should be available at any home center or hardware store....
I used to like Leviton when US-made. It cost me $500 to get a new outdoor GFCI installed for the pool in May. The China-made Leviton GFCI failed within five days.

Being a bit more precise ... for a lamp.
Thanks
What Doug said.
Call a couple of lighting stores AKA "design centers". Many of them have electrical parts counters where the contractors buy their supplies. You might find some decent quality sockets there.
Being a bit more precise ... socket for a table lamp.

Yes, we understood that the first two times you posted.
The answer hasn't changed: Leviton, available at any home center or hardware store.
Hi, If you can find a vintage NOS even used one at flea market or garage sale. That is best. I have one on my lamp post and never have problem.
I've been buying all my lamp parts from a place in New Haven, Ct. called Grand Brass. They sell a very nice quality, well designed 3 way socket. shipping is pricey, so you need to buy a few items to make it pay. Online site: grandbrass.com
A second vote for Grand Brass. Sturdy stuff.
