i saw a piece on i think date line about this, they took a regular american house hold and took everything that wasnt made in the US out, needless to say the house was empty, and they tried to refurnish it with things ONLY made in the US, i didnt see the outcome of it, but from what little i remember they have an EXTREMELY hard time finding a lot of the normal things you use everyday, like their coffee maker was a big one i remember, its kinda sad actually that one can not fill their own house with things made here in our own country.
Yes you can. Of course you have to like antiques. My bedroom suit (Full size bed, dresser, chest of drawers, and nightstands) is American made and solid wood with exotic wood inlays. Sold by Sears circa 1940-1946. My solid maple kitchen table and chairs are American made circa 1963. My tableware is American stainless by Imperial and my plates and dishes are Fire King (circa 1950). My cookware is Griswold (cast iron) and Pyrex. Appliances? Circa 1970-1980 except, as mentioned, coffee maker. Of course none of these things helps employ domestic labor today. I am sure that a few of the tuneup parts I use on my 1963 Ford are imported though.
