Channel Craft has been manufacturing Authentic American Toys, Games and Puzzles that are "Quality Crafted" right here in the U.S.A. for over 25 years now. You'll find American Pastimes that are produced by skilled craftsmen and women to ensure aesthetic beauty, durability and great play value.

According to the Toy Industry Association approximately 90 percent of the toys our children play with are made in China. Channel Craft Toy Company, however, makes more than 100 authentic American-crafted toys right here in Charleroi, Pennsylvania. The wood used to make items like whistles and tic tac toe boards are locally grown and include poplar and sassafras.

Charleroi, just outside of Pittsburgh and once a thriving steel mill town, was crippled in the 1970s when the mills were shuttered. The founder & owner Mr. Helfer said the mill closings caused a mass exodus and he estimates the town of Charleroi is about half the population it was 20 years ago. As testimony to the American spirit and entreprenurial zeal, today Helfer has replaced his workshop van he started in with a 32,000-foot manufacturing plant employing more than 30 permanent American employees. Mr. Helfer has no interest in leaving the USA to do his manufacturing in China. "Everything that we sell is and will be made here in the United States," he said.
