It is a niche, but as we proposed before let us try to collect cool brands for fountain pens.

I'll add alle the brands from this two articles https://www.peytonstreetpens.com/pen-makers-europe/ and https://www.jetpens.com/blog/The-Best-Luxury-European-Fountain-Pens/pt/925 as soon as I can. In the meantime, feel free to add your personal pick in the comments. I'll add them.

Faber-Castell is a "joint-stock company" (not sure, it's Aktiengesellschaft in German), but it's not publicly traded and the info I could find in a quick websearch on who owns those shares says that they're all owned by family members (not sure how reliable the sources are, this isn't really my field of expertise). You might be confusing it with a different company.

And TIL they also make fountain pens.
