Dates must be entered in the international form (YYYYY-MM-DD), usually it is sufficient to indicate the year. If you indicate an "OrigDate", for example the initial foundation of the [[Pelikan]], never put "Date" and instead put (if known) "ProdDate" to indicate when the production of fountain pens has started. For companies founded by one person but later known by another name (e.g. [[Pelikan]] or [[Holland]]), indicate as "Ancestor" the initial founder, and as "Founder" the protagonist who made the company significant.
