Phil,
What name was on the pen and how was it written? You might be able to narrow it down. I know of no small vendors (only some magazines) that sell names. It is usually a big no no and not worth the risk. I get pens like that just because I have a mailing address, and not because a vendor sold the name. Don't rule out the fact you have a USA address at all. If you signed an address card for the box, you are in someone's database.

Subject: [RCSE] Vender Disappointment - Rant Follows


I've always been treated very well by the venders in our hobby however
recently someone sold their mailing list to a junk mailer.  This might not
seem like a big thing but I have a USA mailbox which calls me when I have a
parcel come in.  They charge a reasonable $2.50 for this service.  You can
imagine my delight after waiting an hour in a border line-up to be given a
"free pen" by the "National Pen Company".  I only use this address for
modeling shipments so I can reasonably deduct that one of five people I have
dealt with recently has made a little extra by divulging personal
information.


Disappointed in Vancouver,
Phil
