SPT refers to the amount of plastic insulation covering the lamp wire:

SPT-1 is the traditional thickness of 0.3" plastic insulation. It easily slips standard 3/8" lamp pipe.
SPT-2 is thicker with a 0.45" plastic insulation providing more protection and resistant to abrasion. Slipping SPT-2 wire through 3/8" - 1/8 IP lamp pipe can be tight.

Antique Gold Cord Sets are a unique color suitable on many vintage lamps. The slim SPT-1 width is like that used on lighting throughout much of the 20th century. This thin width ideal for tight spaces and many vintage lamps.

Standard insulated 18 gauge twin wire has 2 parallel copper wires. Wire with smooth plastic covering is positive/hot, wire with slight ribs in plastic is neutral/negative.
Approximate cord size: 3/16" width x 1/4" thickness
U.L. Listed for table & floor lamps were cord is exposed.
Stripped, copper-tipped ends simplify wrapping wire around socket screws.
Molded-on plugs are polarized and permanently attached to lamp cord.

Before making any changes to electrical fixtures and/or lamps:

Disconnect plug/wire from the electrical source.
Turning lamp off will not protect you from electric shock.
If you are unsure how to safely proceed contact a licensed electrician.
