History of the Moonbeam Flashing Light Alarm Clock

The trademark MOON-BEAM was granted to Western Clock Co. on November 12, 1918, no. 123,511. The registration contains the statement "The trade-mark has been continuously used in our business since April 16, 1918." I am not aware of any Moonbeam clock that early.
