Loras asks “Looking for a Made in USA #5 zipper, will need only 34 in various lengths. In black, sports gray and lime green. The garments range from M-3XL, so zipper length will roughly run 24″-29″. Hope you can help’

I’ve recommended this sight as a place to begin. I did not come up with a lot of choices for zippers. It’s sad because the Talon zipper was made 15 miles from my house. I’m not sure if they make them in the US any more or not. Their website is not forthcoming. Though they reference locations in ohio and a few other states.. The plant in Meadville is closed down.

Made in the USA – It Matters

This blog has hundreds of links to sites that have products manufactured in the USA. When possible I will include products from this blog into the data base at MadeByYankees.NET

This blog also has the most links to consumable items that I have seen in a single location. Look for Food, Chocolate, Cheese, Wine, Coffee, Tea etc.

He also has a large listing of links for electronics, cookware, and many other links.

Partly a request, more of a suggestion:

You keep coming up empty handed on a lot of things – no longer made by anybody in the USA.

However, you and your readers should remember that a much wider range of merchandise USED TO BE made in the USA. Much of this stuff is still out there and available used. If one is lucky, one might even find something available that has been sitting around unused.

A few examples:

Corded telephones are no longer made in USA. However, they USED to be, by Western Electric, and they were made much better than the imports are now. When everything used to be under the Bell System, you rented rather than owned your phone, and if something went wrong (which it rarely did), they would just come out and exchange phones; the phone you got might not be new, but no matter. IMHO, people can buy a used Western Electric corded phone with a high degree of confidence that it will last AT LEAST as well as any modern imported phone.

Hand calculators are not made in the USA either, but I know that at least Texas Instruments and HP used to, and they made good stuff back then. If one looks, one can still find those up for sale on places like ebay.

Small Kitchen Appliances made in the USA are getting harder to find now, and are impossible in some categories, but of course just about everything used to be made here by several different manufacturers. In some cases, if one looks hard enough one can find new old stock or new in box merchandise from these US makers. There are even places like toastercentral.com that are in the business of refurbishing some of the best of these old US-made models.

Which leads to my request: If you can’t find anybody who is presently making consumer durable goods in the USA, could you at least try to give us some suggestions as to who USED to make it? This would be very helpful for those of us who are hunting for needles of good old USA stuff in the haystack of junk that is out there.

Thanks!

We have gone through six toasters in the past three years. Various elements quit working or never did on these toasters. Is there such a thing as an American Made toaster? Maybe some of the stimulus money could go to a new USA Toaster factory, to produce toasters that really work.
Thanks…..Louise

A few months ago I was looking for a kitchen toaster made in USA and was not able to find a new one. I ended up purchasing a vintage toaster from a e-bay seller that specialized in USA made products (which is nice). I see you have camping toasters, but if there is such thing as a kitchen one that might be good for future patrons of your site.

Thanks so much!
Love your site!

Kelly is looking for an American made, electric, immersion element, style deep fryer. She says “I’ve had no luck looking on my own, except for antique models on Ebay.”

I’ve also done a fair amount of research and I’m unable to locate an immersion Deep Fryer Made in the USA.
