Quality Brands That Are Now Gone

I was trying to think of quality name brands that are gone (not those who have gone downhill, e.g. Sperry with its Chinese made shoes).
Pytchley - the definitive British wool cap maker - caps that last forever
Sellner - maker of the Tilt-A-Whirl amusement park ride - what other major manufactured product gets taken apart every week and reassembled at a new location, yet last forty to fifty years?
Can you think of others?

Of all the items & you could come up with pytchley & sellner.
Nice list out of nowhere but any man that knows a quality english wool cap maker & sellner must live in central fla & be a past carny worker or a child of one. Cheers

Commodore USA. a year or two ago I had seen that you could buy a Commodore-stamped keyboard that housed a mini-ITX machine. Their website was down when I investigated further. Basically, the owner died and it was pulled down overnight with no fanfare. They were one of the first affordable home PC makers.
I wanted to say "RCA" and for all intents and purposes still should as they no longer produce anything, much less all Made in America electronics. They import a handful of cheap electronics with their name on it. You may disqualify that one, but I think it's a different case than decline in production. The company is essentially dead.
Mercury, the brand of car with a corresponding Ford and/or Lincoln for every offering, has been phased out. You cannot buy a new Mercury at this time.
