I had an old Stanley that lasted for a couple of decades. One morning during a duck hunt, my coffee was cold after only a couple of hours. Then I noticed charcoal in the sink when I cleaned it. The leak was on the outside where the handle attached. It broke the vacuum seal. So, I called them, gave them the code number and they sent me a new one. I didn't have to send the old one back, so I compared them and noticed the new one weighed about half as much. It also felt more tinny, seemed more cheaply constructed and said "Made in China". But ya know what? It works just as well, at least for now. If it only lasts for a year or two, I will just send it back. In the mean time, I may start looking on Ebay for a vintage stanley.
