Re: Messko Omega Tire Gauge - Empire State Building ?
Alain, I have seen 4 or 5 different Mesko gauges with different faces. Omega must have been an importer for Mesko. I have had one that had "Air Lift" that came with air shocks, another that was from Omaha Nebraska with the name of an AG chemical company, another with a picture of the Empire State Building on it and another that was like yours. Older Road and Track Mags had ads for these gauges from Omega.

Probably a different company. This Omega serviced analog gauges. Currently located in New Canaan, CT, I believe.

The "Omega" Messko was just one of many logos/company names on Messkos. That's an example of where a company puts their name on well-known product to promote their business. In the US it's categorized as Advertising Specialities -- trade association: http://www.asicentral.com/
Below is some other examples of the Messko. Sorry, I don't have a photo of the Air Lift one. Certainly, there are more in case anybody is interested in more Messko trivia.
