This Swiss commercial #87167 is at the end of the '20 DWM Commercial' range, which ended in early 1921. The Alphabet Commercial range began immediately after. There are a few examples, probably small batches, produced in this configuration in that time frame. This is the earliest example I have seen.
The Cross in Starburst in my avatar is the same configuration. It and all of the others I have seen in the past are in the early (i suffix) Alphabet Commercial range.
