Ah but there's one - Ohio Blue Tip Matches. But according to my box, they did eventually get outsourced - to Indiana. They work MUCH more reliably than the matches made in China, btw.

I like the Vizio TV also but I've read they are made in China, man I would love to have an American made toaster and coffee pot again the ones we purchased 40 years lasted 35 years now replaced with Chinese junk that I am afraid to leave plugged in. :lol:

I am often surprised anymore - more stuff seems to be getting made here, or claiming to.
