Pexto, Roper-Whitney, Niagara.
Actually I can't think of a bad older American brand.

Also DiAcro. They made 24" and 36" finger brakes, and I have
one of the 24" size. I am quite happy with it.

If you find one check it carefully for damage, people seriously
overload them.

Certainly so.

I've used larger industrial models of the imports which weren't too
bad. The 3-in-1 machines are difficult and fussy but they do work.

And they do break too -- if you get too close to their maximum
thickness.

Enjoy,
