Look what I found for you:

Let me know if you get it. Or if you don't see this in time, maybe I will buy it and see if you'll trade me one of your Florence Art oil glitters.
Let me know how this works out.

I am not sure if you saw this or not, but there was one of your swiss golden beacon lamps that just ended on eBay a few days ago:

Sorry you missed it. I will keep my eyes open for you.

One other thing I forgot to mention. You probably already know about this, and I don't know if it would be a waste of time or not, but there's a great little Mom and Pop place that are experts in old motion lamps. They even wrote a book on them (I believe). Here's a link to their site:
http://www.smsnoveltiques.com/
I emailed them about an old motion lamp to see if they knew where to look for it, and was very surprised that they actually had it (even though it wasn't on their website at all). If they don't actually have one, they very likely might know where to find the revolving beacon type lamp you were looking for. I think they've been around for a while. Hope this helps.
Best,
Jen P.
This is what the lamp looks like. Any ideas?
Also, I saw a posting that you were looking for a revolving beacon lamp. I tried to look online for you, but see you've been to most everywhere I already went. I did find one patent photo of one of their lamps - here's the link:
http://www.google.com/patents?id=XbNxAAAAEBAJ&dq=%22swiss+harmony%22+%2Blamp
I don't know if you've seen this shape before or not. Also, here is a photo of an item on eBay which says it's by that same Swiss Harmony company:

I know it's not what you're looking for, but maybe it had a different shade before and someone replaced it with that. There's also one other strange patent:
http://www.google.com/patents?id=fb9xAAAAEBAJ&dq=%22swiss+harmony%22+%2Blamp
I can't make out if this is a lamp or what it is.
In any case, since I was asking you for help, I tried to see if I could do anything for you in return. I live in PA and do a lot of antique shopping. if I ever see one of those kind of lamps, I will let you know. If I see one at a flea market and it might "get away", if you have a price range that you would be willing to pay for these, that would also be helpful to know. I will keep my eyes peeled as I do a lot of this type of shopping. If possible, please let me know anything you can about what I should expect to pay for one of these Florence Art Co. glitter oil lamps and if you'd be willing to part with one or you know where I might be able to find one, that would be very much appreciated. Thanks very much for your time and help.
Sincerely,
Jen P.
