Ilford - the last man standing

In line with Ilford's pronouncement to be the last
manufacturer of B&W photographic materials, I wondered
what other products are made by the last and only.

Searching Google for "the world's _last_ manufacturer of"
results in only one hit:

- Quantegy, the world's last manufacturer of
professional-grade recording tape, filed
for Chapter 11 ...

Widening the search to "the world's _only_ manufacturer of"
was more profitable, yielding the following thriving
products:

- correct replacement Land Rover chassis
for each year of series II, IIa, and III

- youth size motorcycles

- candles that glow when you light them

- two wheel drive off road vehicles

- amphibious cars: Amphijeep, Inc.

- road legal amphibious cars: Dutton Marine, Inc.

- Tachyon Energy Antennas

- coin and bill operated breath
alcohol analyzers: Alcohol Analyzers, Inc.

- coin operated _talking_ breath
alcohol analyzers: American Alcohol Analyzers, Inc.

- balance shaft eliminator kits for H22's and H23's

- scale finishing tapes [The "Pinks" are lots
smaller than full scale pinks but not to
any particular scale.]

I dearly hope Ilford does not join this illustrious company.

I believe Quantegy is back in business:

That may come as a surprise to Efke and Bergger.

papers.
