There is a town in China named Usa. There are some factories there, and the Chinee have taken to stamping products from those factories "Made In Usa." Not making this up. There was a news story about it a couple of years ago.

Don't know about China, but this was (allegedly) done by the Japanese back in the latter '50s. Never actually seen anything with that stamp though. I'd kind of like to have something stamped like this for my collection of oddball stuf with political/historical significance.

Anyone ever actually seen anything with these (Chinese or Japanese)Usa stamps on them?
