In civilian life Lehman was an importer of children’s toys, and in 1930 he started manufacturing his own range of “Pit-a-Pat” miniature original furniture. His company, E. Lehman & Co, Toys, grew and stocked, amongst others, Hamley’s Toy Store, as well as supplying children’s toys to the Royal Family. The business expanded and the numbers of items produced by the factory in the Barbican grew; unfortunately the premises was severely damaged during the Blitz, but subsequently relocated to Barnet, Hertfordshire and began to diversify into indoor games. Lehman died in Barnet in 1961.
