[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 67721, member: 25"]The patent refers to lights that flash. Flashbulbs. Think pocket torch, not the more modern usage flashlight. DRP is early 20th C abbreviation for German State Patent. Very commonly seen on German origin goods. Similar to S.G.D.G on french stuff. The scene is not unusual, much cheap metalware was imported from Germany up to the First World War. It might be unusual, I'd bet my life it is not unique.[/QUOTE]
