Ash and Petit was the original pen making company which they started in 1850 and in 1861 it became C. Brandauer & Co. They had premises on Navigation Street in Birmingham.
The company was confiscated by the British Authorities during the First World war, because the Brandauers were Austrian and classed as 'undesirable' at that time.
The comapny went back to the ownership of Ash and Petit during the war years but the well established name was retained. They stopped making nibs around 1960 but the Brandauer company still make metal parts today.

(The Isle of Man Examiner in it Annual Report of 1919 has this entry; 28 April 1918.
Fredrick C Brandauer, a millionaire manufacturer of steel pens, interned at Douglas Alien Detention Camp, committed suicide by taking an overdose of veronal).

The price is for each single nib.
