The plane came in a box marked "Made in Mexico". It was a great disappointment because the machining was so poor - the sole was far from flat with two curved high spots at each end of the plane and the iron seemed to be twisted up towards the front - and I had to spend hours flattening the sole and the iron. Milling marks too were very deep and in all the overall quality was extremely poor. I have seen far better quality China made block planes.
