[Harp-L] re: Harmonicas Made in USA?



Michael Peloquin quotes the following:

"Chicago-based Harrison Harmonicas LLC is about to become the nation's first harmonica manufacturer, equipped with its own technology and patented designs to maintain a competitive edge."


Except it's not "the nation's first harmonica manufacturer". I posted this last month when this claim was previously made:

So its pretty clear that Harrison Harmonicas will not be the first American harmonica manufacturer, not by almost two centuries (and possibly not the only current one either, depending on how one looks at it).

As for the "patented designs", last the list heard they had not been granted yet (as of April 2008) has this changed?
i couldn't find anything at the USPO site, either under granted patents or applications.
