Below is some information that we found about Clayton sirens (note...this article from the library of congress mentions J.L. Clayton and our Siren is marked J.T. Clayton, we are not sure of the relation)
Article #1 - DeLand pool. Improvised foundry, Daytona Beach. A new kind of air raid siren is resulting from a fireman's curiosity about aluminum. City fireman J.L. Clayton of Daytona Beach, Florida, became interested in metals and put up a one-man foundry for a hobby in the rear of the fire station. Today he is molding aluminum air raid sirens in a rapidly expanding foundry and is handling molded aircraft parts for the DeLand, Florida, industrial pool. R.G. Campbell, Jr., foreman of the shop; Lewis Pollity, formerly an electrician, and Clayton examine a newly-cast siren "blade"
Article #2 - DeLand pool. Improvised foundry, Daytona Beach. City fireman J.L. Clayton of Daytona Beach, Florida, turned curiosity into war production. Several years ago he became interested in molding metals, particularly brass and aluminum in his spare time and put up a one-man foundry in back of the fire station as a hobby. Now he's making cast parts for the DeLand industrial pool and turning out aluminum air raid sirens of his own invention. Clayton is pulling a newly-cast siren section out of the mold. With him is R.G. Campbell, Jr., foreman of his expanded hobby shop.
