I’m unable to find any ironing board “made in usa”. However, the Reliable Brand is being advertised as made in Italy.
I’m also not able to find an iron of any kind, either dry or steam, Made in the USA. I believe there is a possibility that Reliable brand may be made in Canada. I am confirming this and will post back when I have confirmation. Reliable Corp

Several businesses have inquired as to how to list their “Made in USA” products. List products This link will take you to the page where you can get a spreadsheet. After completing the spreadsheet and returning it to us we add it to our database and upload it to the www.madebyyankees.net database. We ask only a small fee which goes directly to advertising to support the site and support the businesses who have listed their products in our database.
We also promote a business each month which there is absolutely no fee for. Email for more information! yankee617@gmail.com
Rea shares her thoughts…
“Not excited about your website. When I want to search for something I don’t want to see a full page explanation of what “Quick Search” is. I want to SEARCH. I think most of us know what SEARCHING is and even if you don’t think we do, we are not going to read a full page explanation of it. ”
BTW I was looking or UNDERPANTS and didn’t find them.
MadeByYankees response:
I’d like to address some of Rea’s concerns. Admittedly, we do have a lot of “text” on our sites about searching. There are several reasons for this. One reason is that our demographics include veterans. We firmly believe that veterans are extremely patriotic and would find this resource useful. Right or wrong I’ve associated veterans as a group of people slightly disadvantaged as they have not had regular access to computers as have all the X’s and Y’s. There for we do provide additional information to help them navigate.
Second, our site is rather unique with respect to searching. We have a database for which confirmed made in usa consumer products are listed. We have a blog where searches are necessary to find information where products do not fit firmly into the 100% made in usa category. And last we have two search functions that to my knowledge no other website has. Those are consolidated google searches. The allow visitors to search MANY e-tail websites for a product at one time.
We feel that more information is better than less. For those who are experienced with searches feel free to ignore the information. On the other hand perhaps we could consider a “Beginner” page.
With regard to not finding underpants. The database is growing and it increases as we research products. The priority of product research is directly related to requests that we get from this blog. If Rea is looking for underpants, then the research for underpants will commence!
Andy, thanks for getting us started at American Apparel Women’s Panties

Martha asks
HISTORY QUESTION: When and why was the declaration “Made or Manufactured in USA” first used. We restore antique clock dials. We know this wording was used on mass produced all American Clocks made in the late 1800’s. Our patriotic customers often insist we add it to early American clocks that did not originally print it on their products. We have to refuse because it ruins the historical authenticty. I would like to know where I can find reliable historical information on when and why this ledgend first came into use. It really is important to the history of our very earliest American made products that are now very desirable antiques.
