Digging around the www I read the classification for "made in
XX" should only apply to goods that undergo final assembly "in
XX"   However, it sounds like "manufactured by" can apply to
goods that are assembled under 100% complete.  So, maybe the
last (and perhaps only) step this particular item gets is the
attachment of the UPC label in USA, and .: "manufactured by
MerryMakers ..Oakland CA" makes is American?

Sheesh.

Anyway.. I am astonished at how many items are manufactured and
assembled China.  Even a vast majority of books seem to be
printed and manufactured in China.
