Foreign-Made Products
Being a geography nerd, I am fascinated by our global economy. I always look at objects to see where they were made, and sometimes, certain unexpected or expected but unusual countries of origin pop up.
So TFP members, please list objects that you've seen or that are in your possesion that have been made in unexpected/unusual countries. (Please exclude foreign currency, as it is expected that it would be made in foreign countries, and Chinese-made products, as they permeate the globe).
I shall start off:
Bic mechanical pencils (France)
Papermate mechanical pencils (Japan)
Staedtler compass (the drawing kind, not the navigation kind, assembled in Mexico of German parts)
Wenger knife (Switzerland)
Various silver and gold jewelry (Italy)
CD scratch repair kit (no longer in my posession, Ireland)
Robe-(not mine, United Arab Emirates)
