My family began a business in 1862 in Birmingham UK manufacturing pen nibs with exports all over the world. We currently manufacture and export precision pressings globally. In 2012 we are celebrating our 150th anniversary and recording the history of the Company and all those who have worked in C Brandauer and Co Ltd over the years. If you have any information that can be added to our story I would be very pleased to hear from you. Thank you

Newgate...
Very few people know about the London premises that C Brandauer leased at the end of the 19th century (from approximately 1889) and the early part of the 20th century. The shop, with basement, was at 124 Newgate Street in the City of London and was next door to the Viaduct Tavern. The row of shops still exists today and no 124 is currently a hairdressers and the pub is still next door! Recently, I went to have a look. The shop and pub fortunately survived the Blitz in WWII.
