Had a surprise today.

Went to a local flea market (Laney College, downtown Oakland) looking
for old tools. Came across a Chinese fellow selling tools, among other
stuff.

All of which were--get this--made in the U.S.A! Good quality ****, too:
Nicholson files, Mayhew punches, Xcelite cutters and such. All new and
all made here.

Most of the other new stuff there (tools, anyhow) was a mix of Chinese
and American-made, with most of it being the former.
