The Myers Machine Tool Co. was established in 1909 by Charles S. Myers. It was incorporated under that name in 1913. At some point before 1921 the business was acquired by machine tool dealer William E. Duff of York, Pa., and the business was incorporated as Myers Machine Tool Corp. The business survived until 1924 but not much longer than that.

Myers' product line was surprising diverse for such a small firm, consisting of sensitive drills, power hacksaws, engine lathes, tool grinders, buffer-polishers, arbor presses, and more.
