Philadelphia
This fountain pen company was located in Philadelphia and started in
the 1920s. The owner was John Lehn a former shipyard laborer.
Lehn immigrated from Austria and was selling pens under the Ajax
name when he was in his 20s. Most [or all] of
their pens are flat top lever fillers. They have barrels imprints
and signed nibs. Some hard rubber pens, but most seem to be
celluloid. Medium [or lesser] quality pens. John Lehn
probably just purchased parts and assembled them, it doesn't appear
that he had a factory
or any employees. A fairly large amount of his pens are mandarin
yellow celluloid.
