Nah. We only shifted from domestic manufacturing in the late 70s/early 80s. The last fifty years have been a rapid shift to Chinese production due to the low price resulting from the posted picture.

Just ask a Gen-Xer about the super safe American made die-cast steel toys they used to hit their siblings with.
