I went to Hobby Lobby a few days ago. I looked and looked for non-Chinese goods and after several isles I found an item, made in India. Even their art paints are made overseas, like Winsor Newton and Winton paints from England. Master’s Touch oil paint is made in China and many of their paint brushes also made in China. Their primed Canvas is made in Cambodia.
Get a different hobby, then.
Lionel and MTH trains are still made here. In fact, rocker Neil Young is a major player in Lionel.
So many US companies/manufacturers have been run off that it can be a challenge to find much of ANYTHING made here any more.
