    Here's what I found on the Russian-language Internet
    Tevel Mordukhovich Kreingel, in the Western manner, called himself Theodore Kreingel. He was not rich and ill-bred, he was self-educated, nevertheless he invented a pocket sewing machine and was awarded a medal at a polytechnic exhibition in St. Petersburg.

    Having worked there for several years, Kreingel returned to Vilnius, where in the beginning of the XX century he opened a factory of lamps on Vilensky street. His company employed about 300 people, and products were in demand not only in the Russian Empire, but also in Egypt, Persia and Turkey. In addition to production, Kreingel was involved in the invention. So, for example, his invention in the field of kerosene and gasoline-gasoline business was widely used. The various products for which Kreingel at one time received seven gold medals

    Alex, a very intersting lamp and with similarties with the Primus 1005, although Primus used a "ball" type of generator as another early Swedish company; AB Lux!
    Here is a drawing of the "Meteor" Kreingel lamp. Note the two air and fuel compartments, each with its own manometer. This is maybe how the first idea of this lamp
    came into a drawing. Both "your" and James lamp looks like an ordinary single tank lamp, pressurized like most pressure lamps.

    I never could get mine to run properly. The flame would go yellow after a minute or so. There seemed to be not enough heat on the lower part of the generator to keep it going.
