Darian Rachal said:A thread in the 'Complain' Forum got me thinking about this. It seems I frequently look at where items I purchase are made and am surprised at which items are made in the USA; sometimes it is really some "odd" stuff. I bought something recently(but can not recall what) that was made in the US. It was just a small inexpensive item, but it surprised me somewhat.
This post is just for whoever wishes to participate. If you buy something that you notice is made in the US(regardless of how big or small), just add it to the list. This is just somehing I am curious about.
I did order a wooden bed from LLBean earlier this month that was made in Maine. It is solid wood and very good quality.
Thanks in advance to anyone that wishes to participate.
This interests me as a very good friend of mine owns a company that produces cooled CCD cameras for photomicroscopy, and they are a leader in the field. They produce large boom-style microscope stands (for autopsies and other large subjects) and optics as well. Their products are made in the USA and are very high quality, very expensive, and are warrantied for pretty much forever. He said that his experience over the years is that if your product is made in the USA, is high quality, and you stand behind it then you are likely not going to be able to keep up with demand. No matter what the price is. That's a good lesson (I think Roland learned that lesson long ago, too).

The topics are the same, and even the names are the same! Feels like coming back home.
