I'm guessing made in China. There was a woman in Middlebury, IN that made some, but I don't think they were without the seam. And it's worth $10.00.....how disheartening.
Well if they were in the VCS catalog in 1956, I don't think we were importing from China back then. The catalog does not say where they were made. And they were selling for $25 and up back in 1956, so I'm happy with what I paid.

ETA - I just emailed the VCS to see if they know where they were being made.
