J. Harris & Co. and also as Majestic Pen Co.,
I have also seen a few pens from the 1920's that had the imprint "Harris & Co." using the brand name "University". These pens were early black celluloid lever fillers. The levers were steel or brass and had the name "Harris" imprinted onto the lever bar and a capital letter "H" stamped into the lever tab. One of these latter Harris pens that I have seen had an unusal jade colored flat top. It was very similar to some of the same era John Holland "Jewel" brand pens that were popular in the late 1920's.
I imagine that as the depression started to affect the pen industry, the J. Harris pen company made the same changes that many of the pen companies made at this time. The cut costs by using cheaper materials.
If anyone has any information to share, please let me know at:
