Fox was a somewhat troubled man, gifted in mechanics and the ability to design, promote and invent products, but apparently lousy in business acumen. Born in 1870, Fox began manufacturing his first shotguns in 1896 under the name Fox Gun Co., of Baltimore, Md. This effort petered out pretty quickly. Production was very low, and surviving examples of this shotgun are few and far between. Around 1900 he took employment at the Baltimore Gun Co., but this lasted a bit less than three years. Fox then founded the Philadelphia Gun Co. in 1904, where he continued to refine his shotgun design. Fox was by all accounts a superb shotgun shot, and like most inventors he was very impressed with himself and his inventions. He delighted in sharing that information to just about anyone who would listen. Two years after he started the Philadelphia Gun Co., Fox founded the A.H. Fox Gun Co., of Philadelphia. Using his success at shotgun events as a launch pad, Fox began producing some high-quality double-barrel shotguns in a variety of grades. He brashly claimed that his shotguns were the finest in the world.
