All of Loggerhead tools products are 100% Made in the USA. They have a really cool product called the Bionic Wrench that adjusts to 16 different wrench sizes.

Jane shares with us…dinnerware made in USA
You may want to contact the company, ZestyDishes. They sell Fiesta Dishes and other American-made products. They are a great company and I think they would be a good addition to your site. I like the candles that you are featuring as well.

I could not find a digital camera made in the usa.

I did find this info from Roger Simmermaker. He makes some valid comments that should be considered. How To Buy American. Go down the page until you find the paragraph on Cannon and Kodak Cameras.

I was chasing around a camera called Che-Ez! from a company called NHJ. That camera is advertised in many places on the web as Made in USA. But, It is a japanese company with “offices” in the usa. I never did confirm the actual locations of the offices or if there really is a manufacturing plant. I also question the quality of the product.

Worksman Cycles makes bikes and trikes for family and work.

As a result of requests for children’s bicycles which do not appear to be made in USA, I have found that there are a number of high end bicycle manufactures in the USA.

Aegis Bicycles
Serotta
Litespeed – Merlin Brand
Cannondale – Aluminum frames Ask questions. I believe Cannondale was sold so this may have changed.

Made in USA according to article referenced below..
Waterford Bikes Made in Waterford, WI
Seven Made in Watertown, Mass

You may also be interested in reading this blog about where bikes are made. The FTC states that a product advertised as Made in USA be “all or virtually all” made in the U.S. …

This site demonstrates that the Bicycle industry uses a 60% rule which does not meet FTC regulations. That does not mean that the bicycles are mis-labeled only that you need to be informed and know what questions to ask when you are buying.

See this link for many other bicycle manufacturers in the USA.

Trek Information
Some sites are saying only the frame is made in US. Which would mean a “made in usa with imported parts”. The FTC gets sticky here, but generally if the largest expense of the item occurs in the US, then by law it is Made in the USA. This site invites you to see a factory tour. Two locations both in Wisconsin. Trek Tour

NOTE**** Some websites are stating that Trek makes a childs bike. They do not….. Here is their response to my inquiry on 12/21/09.
“Currently, all of our children’s bikes are produced overseas. I don’t know of any company that produces their kid’s bikes in the US except for some high-end, low-volume BMX race bike companies.”

This JUST in 10/23/2009…
Silence HP is confirmed as noted by their website.Silence HP by Brilliant

Otherwise, choices are real slim on hairdryers.

There is this….
Silence HP Iconic at Green Feet

Hard wired, wall mount….
Luxury Mirrors

And then there is a brand called Hartman hair dryers but they had a recall
in 1993. I can’t find a website for them either. I’m guessing they are
out of business.

Alan inquires on Fondue Pots…

I found this model of West Bend labeled as Made in USA on this site.
West Bend
Now, just because it is labeled on the site this way, does not necessarily make it so. There are West Bend products still made in the USA so this is a real possibility. Ask Questions first! Websites do not always provide accurate product origin information.

The Norpor brand I found last week is NOT made in the USA.

Martin requests information on Made in USA Hot water heater w/tank.

American is made in the USA. They’ve made it very clear on their site.

I am an artist and crafter wishing to find plain switch plates that I can decorate for resale. I very much do not wish to buy China-made products. At the same time I would prefer to buy American-made.

I am looking for various types of switchplates, single toggle, double- and multi-toggle, single rocker switch, double-and multi-switch, etc. I have been fruitlessly searching the internet for this. I would be very grateful for any help you could provide. Thank you – Donna

MadeByYankees Response
So far I’m seeing what appears to be speciality type plates that are more than likely made in the USA. You can start with this site. The site says most of their products are made in Pittsburgh PA. http://www.diamondlifegear.com/wallplatecovers.html

Here is another site that looks more like what you need. Arnev

One last thing….Because I haven’t verified directly with the manufacturer, ASK QUESTIONS before you buy! Though their site seems to imply all their products are made in USA, there may be some catch. It’s always better to verify and ask very specific questions. Semantics are tricky in this business!
