This oil lamp is currently for sale on eBay from a seller in India. Perhaps the USCO brand included a wide range of items?

Wow, thanks for all of the responses and additional info!
I did find a government agency that uses the USCO initials - US Codex Office. They are part of the USDA and their mission includes global outreach to establish international food safety and production standards. Perhaps in their earlier history - WW2 to ~1959 - this outreach included care packages with such niceties as oil lamps and phonographs with records. The fact that it was non-electrical also sorta indicates more rural or remote audience. Who knows...
Thanks again for all the responses and clues!
