MADE IN INFORMATION:
The shoulder bag was made in China as were both of the Beanie Planes. The Silver Anniversary Plane, is gray (silver) so looks dirty next to the White California plane, but it was purposely made that color to be Silver.
The picture was made in the USA.
The wings and the pin backs do not say where they are made, but would assume China since they do a lot of advertising merchandise for the USA.
