Dunno...but the reason this one caught my eye was because it was the first
time I saw those words (made in USA) in a long time. My kids have plenty of
Tonka toys, and I sure don't remember reading Made in USA on any of 'em.

I turned it over, it read "Tootsietoys...Made in USA". I looked up
Tootsietoys, and found they also make several games, die-cast toys, and
Mr.
Bubbles. I know that the Mr. Bubbles is made here too. I don't know
about
the other products, but it would be worth looking at the toys you're
buying
your kids and opting for the Tootsietoys ones...'cause it can't hurt to
support a company that's found a way to make a profit on a USA-made 99
cent
trinket.

PS--I wonder if they're "unionized"?

Thanks guy, with three grand kids, that's good info. Now, how about
Tonka - US
or not?

Nope. Tonka is made by Hasbro in Hong Kong. Oh well!
