"The patent for the familiar Edison morning glory horn was issued to Charles Eichorn in 1905, who sold the rights to the Tea Tray Company of Newark, New Jersey, a long established metal working concern. The Tea Tray Company manufactured Edison's horns, as well as its own line of aftermarket amplifiers."
