C. BRANDAUER & Co. Ltd
The original company Ash Petit & Co was
founded in 1850. In 1861 the company's agent in Vienna, Carl Kuhn
sent his relative Charles Emmanuel Brandauer to Birmingham to build
a new factory. Brandauer & Co produced steel pens for over a hundred
years. The company is still in business but they don't make pens today.

about the pen trade "The Brandauers remained involved
with the business until the First World War, when the factory was
confiscated by the British authorities on the grounds that the Brandauers
were Austrian, and was eventually released to the Petit family."
