I believe it to be the last one in existance..Anyone have one or know of one? I know some of my older neighbors in the past few weeks didnt give me much info except an 84yr old who knew where the company was and told me they also made hit & miss engines and threshers.Really would like to get more info on this Tatamy PA company..Anyone out there have any Messinger equipt that was made in PA? I live about 20min from Tatamy and there are not many older people left down that way who would know about the company..Really be nice to find an old employee who can give us "Messinger equipt collectors" some more info on our goodies..
