History

Little is known about this clock. The back says "Made in Canada, Rd. 1931". The dial says "Made in U.S.A." at the bottom. I think the movement with dial may have been changed, as other examples I've seen on eBay say Made In Canada on the dial. These examples have non-luminous dial.

Note: I don't know the "official" name of this clock, so I am calling it "Catalin Alarm".
