In September of 1979 I attended the Pennsylvania State Firemans Convention Parade in Reading,Pa.The Goodwill of Darby Township Hamerly Pumper was in this parade,a sign in the hosebed read " Newest Truck in the Parade". This fire company is local to me They would tell you how they went up to the Hamerly Factory at night and took there pumper.

Regarding the Good Will-Darby PA rig being the final, I do believe this is correct but I seriously doubt it was a 1981 model year as Hamerly closed their doors in April of 1980 according to the bankruptcy paperwork. It may have been made in 1979 and titled/delivered as a 1980 but no way as a 1981.
This was the case with anything listed as a 1980 made by them.
Just my two cents
[/quote]Yes, think the 81 was an accident, I copy & paste the description that was attached to the photo

I was told the story of the Darby Twp rig (I ran with the sister department) and it was as Bruce stated. In addition I was told that the doors of Hamerly were locked all ready and thru political contacts, the local politicians had got the OK to send members of the Department and a State police officer to go to the factory and recover the rig

Anyone have any idea who sold Hammerly in the mid-west? We had a few in the Kansas City Regional Area, IE Topeka, Lee's Summit. Thanks in advance.
Stay Safe,
