The Meteor Motor Car Company is the featured business on the fifth "Made in Piqua" ornament that is now available. The brass ornament features the front of the original Meteor Motor Car Company building and an ambulance and hearse. The Meteor Motor Car Company, which later became the Miller-Meteor Motor Car Company, began production of luxury cars, funeral coaches and ambulances in Piqua in 1913 and remained in business through the mid 1970's. The "Made in Piqua" ornament series was started to honor Piqua's landmark companies and have so far featured a Decker's lard can, a three-blade Hartzell propeller, a Favorite base burner stove and the French Oil Mill Machinery Company. Each ornament comes in a blue box that was especially produced for the project by Piqua Paper Box Company. The cost per ornament is $12. Mainstreet Director Lorna Swisher, who is coordinating the project, says Tom Caserta, the present owner of the company was intimately involved in the design of the ornament. "I am very excited to see the Meteor Motor Car Company honored in this way." Says Tom Caserta. "We appreciate the cooperation of Piqua Paper Box Company with this project. We thought it was very important to have a "Made in Piqua" ornament that could be purchased in a box that was made in Piqua." The ornaments are now available at the Mainstreet Piqua office, 326 N. Main Street as well as Readmore Hallmark, 430 N. Main Street, Apple Tree Gallery, 405 N. Main Street and Tapestry Angel, 516 Spring Street. First and Second "Made in Piqua" Ornaments Re-Released 
Due to the overwhelming number of requests for the first two "Made in Piqua" brass ornaments, Mainstreet Piqua has re-released the popular collectibles. The Decker's lard can and the Hartzell Propeller ornaments are available at the Mainstreet office at 326 N. Main Street as well as Readmore's Hallmark, 430 N. Main Street, Apple Tree Gallery, 405 N. Main Street and Tapestry Angel, 516 Spring Street. Mainstreet Piqua started the popular collectible series in 2007 in tribute to Piqua's rich industrial heritage. The first ornament, the Decker's lard can, completely sold out just a few weeks after it was released in November 2007 and the 2008 version, the 3-blade Hartzell Propeller, sold just as quickly. The ornaments come in a sturdy blue box that was specially designed and produced for the project by Piqua Paper Box Company. The cost per ornament is $12. The idea for the series of collectible ornaments came from retired downtown Piqua merchant Doug Stilwell. The 2009 ornament was the Favorite Stove Company and last year's ornament showcased The French Oil Mill Machinery Company. Both of these ornaments are still available. The 2011 ornament will be the Meteor Motor Car Company. For additional information on the "Made in Piqua" ornaments contact Mainstreet Piqua at 937-773-9355. Need a Gift? Run out of time?
