20 or 30's car alarm

i was hoping someone could help me out. i bought a box of random stuff at an auction and found a few model T parts and a few parts i cant figure out what they are/value. it is a stop-thief auto alarm, no year, make or model #. comes in a brown envelope with the instructions printed on the front. its made by Penn Greg Mfg Co out of Minneapolis, Mn. It is basically a pendulum with a lead weight that connects to your horn with a wire. pretty unique but i cannot find any information on the mfg co or name. there is no brand either, I am assuming it is stop-thief.

i have a picture but i cant post it on here for some reason, but i can email it to you if that helps.

any information would be helpful!

thanks!

Re: 20 or 30's car alarm

Just stumbled across your post while trying to find more info about a built in mailbox on my 1940s home. The company Penn-Greg was a St Paul MN Mfg company in the 20-30s. Interestingly most of what I've found on them is patents for built in mailbox variations. The credited inventor's name is Bernard t. Pennig. Perhaps ol' Bernard was dabbling in car inventions in addt to his mailbox invention.
