Samsonite
Luggage retailer Samsonite first joined the market in 1910. Founded by Jesse Shwayder in Denver, Colorado, it stayed on the West Coast for 91 years. This was no longer the case after a change in ownership, which took it to the other side of the country. The headquarters are now located in Mansfield, Massachusetts. The products are primarily made in Europe and Asia. There are factories in China, Hungary, and India. The Nashik plant in India manufactures around 40% of the hard luggage! It is a very popular brand in China when it comes to sales as well. Two-thirds of the overall products are made in China through contract-manufacturers located in Shanghai.

Zippo Lighters
The Zippo lighter is yet another American classic! Did you know that the products are also environment-friendly? The company is known for making reusable metal lighters. The American Zippo Manufacturing Company makes many models in various styles and designs. First made for the military, the product was eventually sold the civilians. There are distinctive designs for a number of military regiments out there. Since 1986, the company has started putting a date code on the bottom of the lighters and a letter with the month. A 75th Anniversary edition model is the most expensive one at the price of $37,000.
