A maker appears once for each state where it says it makes the product. Level means how well we have checked the claim, not how good the product is. How we check.

Illinois

Level 1 Claim noted

Green Toys recycled-plastic toys

Green Toys · Northbrook, IL (headquarters) · Toys

Origin source: Green Toys: Philosophy

Caveat

Green Toys does not say which toys are made where. Because some are made abroad, we cannot say a given Green Toys item is American-made. Check the box or the product page for the country of origin before you buy.

Indiana

Michigan

Minnesota

Level 2 Source-checked

Red Wing Heritage boots (Iron Ranger and other Heritage styles)

Red Wing Shoe Company · Red Wing, MN · Apparel

Origin source: Red Wing: Made in the USA

Caveat

Red Wing says it makes boots around the world, and only some lines are made in the USA. Buy the styles listed on its Made in the USA page and check the product page for the exact boot.

Nevada

Level 1 Claim noted

Fisher Space Pen

Fisher Space Pen · Boulder City, NV · Everyday carry

Origin source: Fisher Space Pen: FAQ

Caveat

Fisher's FAQ names its Boulder City factory but does not list, model by model, which pens are made there. Confirm the exact model's origin before you buy.

North Carolina

Level 2 Source-checkedImported parts

Fox River performance socks

Fox River (Nester Hosiery) · Mount Airy, NC (headquarters) · Apparel

Origin source: Fox River: Made in the USA

Caveat

Older sources say Fox River socks come from Osage, Iowa. That plant stopped production in late 2025; Nester Hosiery bought Fox River's assets and moved manufacturing to North Carolina, keeping product development and customer service in Osage. Imported yarn is also used.

Level 2 Source-checked

American Giant Classic Full Zip hoodie

American Giant · Middlesex, NC · Apparel

Origin source: American Giant: 10 Year Classic Full Zip

Caveat

The statement is about the Classic Full Zip hoodie. American Giant's USA-cotton page says 'for some of our products' cotton is grown near the factory, so check other items individually.

Oregon

Level 2 Source-checked

Pendleton wool blankets and throws (Made-in-USA lines)

Pendleton Woolen Mills · Pendleton, OR and Washougal, WA · Home

Origin source: Pendleton: Wool Blankets FAQ

Caveat

Pendleton says 'most', not all. Its own line book lists some throws and pillows as imported, and some baby blankets as made in Portugal. Look for 'Made in USA' on the exact item's page.

Pennsylvania

Level 2 Source-checkedImported parts

Zippo windproof lighter

Zippo Manufacturing Company · Bradford, PA · Everyday carry

Origin source: Zippo: supply chain statement

Caveat

Zippo says some parts come from abroad (fuel bottles from Canada, flints from Austria) and that a small amount of other products, such as utility lighters and outdoor goods, are bought from suppliers in countries like China and India. Only the windproof lighter is covered by the Bradford statement.

Level 1 Claim noted

Case pocket knives

W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Co. · Bradford, PA · Knives & tools

Origin source: Case Knives: About

Caveat

We did not find an origin statement for every model, and third-party sources report that at least one Case line is made abroad. Confirm the exact model's origin before you buy.

Rite in the Rain all-weather pens and notebooks

Rite in the Rain (JL Darling LLC) · Tacoma, WA · Everyday carry

Origin source: Rite in the Rain: History

Caveat

A company-level statement. Check the specific item's listing for origin (pens, bags and accessories may differ from the paper).

Level 2 Source-checked

Pendleton wool blankets and throws (Made-in-USA lines)

Pendleton Woolen Mills · Pendleton, OR and Washougal, WA · Home

Origin source: Pendleton: Wool Blankets FAQ

Caveat

Pendleton says 'most', not all. Its own line book lists some throws and pillows as imported, and some baby blankets as made in Portugal. Look for 'Made in USA' on the exact item's page.

West Virginia

Level 2 Source-checked

Fiesta dinnerware

The Fiesta Tableware Company · Newell, WV · Kitchen

Origin source: Fiesta: USA Made

Caveat

This is the maker's company-wide statement. Fiesta is also sold by many retailers that mix in imported brands, so buy Fiesta-branded pieces and check the item description.

Level 2 Source-checked

Blenko hand-blown glass

Blenko Glass Company · Milton, WV · Home

Origin source: Blenko: Visit Blenko

Caveat

The 'hand-finished from sand to hand' description comes from the company and a West Virginia Public Broadcasting profile, not an audit. Check that a piece is Blenko-made, not a third-party item sold in its gift shop.

Wisconsin

Level 2 Source-checked

Carr Valley Cheese

Carr Valley Cheese Company · La Valle, WI · Food

Origin source: Carr Valley: About us

Caveat

The company page names Wisconsin plants but not which plant makes which cheese. Gift boxes may include non-cheese items from other makers, so check the contents list.

Level 2 Source-checked

O&H Danish Bakery kringle

O&H Danish Bakery · Racine, WI · Food

Origin source: O&H: A Family Tradition

Caveat

Origin here is where the pastry is baked, not where each ingredient is grown. Shipping time matters for a fresh pastry, so check the delivery date.

Level 2 Source-checked

Usinger's sausage

Usinger's Famous Sausage · Milwaukee, WI · Food

Origin source: Usinger's: Our History

Caveat

Origin means where the sausage is made. Usinger's does not say where every ingredient comes from. Perishable gifts need cold-pack shipping, so check the delivery date.
