Greenfield kickstands- still made in the USA. As are wald baskets I believe.. (may be wrong??, I'm brain fuzzy this am)
We are ALWAYS looking at our shop! That's always our goal.
We carry Krieg bags, and I thought they were made here, but alas they are now made in the Phillipines... sigh...
I think Canari is made in so cal as well now that I think about it. And they are cheaper than Sugoi product..

Local things made in my area:
my kitchen cabinets

My cabinets were made by a local company but like many things the wood, fittings, materials could be from all over. But it was part of my decision that they be local. This morning amoung the snippets I caught on NPR news was a sad figure about food pantries in the US, that 1 out of 8 in the US have needed help from a food pantry this year.

I'll always get items from whever I feel is best for a number of reasons; price, quality, aesthetics .... but I try to be a local'varian where I can.
