It would appear that the first discovery of how to make kerosene lamps flash happened in Germany and the founders of the Artcraft company in Melbourne Australia were of German descent, Maximilian Koenig was born in Germany and Louis Neuendorf's father was born in Germany.
The flashing lamps are quite rare especially the ones with the big diameter lens and they can be quite cantakerous, self extinguishing after only a short time. I have placed the various patents for these lamps on my Photobucket site as well.
