Jacobs 14N 0-1/2" Super Chuck , made in USA vs made in Spain?

Just recently picked up a USA-made Jacobs 14n off eBay in like-new condition. While I was shopping for one I saw the new Spain and China made ones; didn't even consider them. You'll see they have the markings etched on, rather than engraved, like the US ones.
14N super chuck was my preference but the prices you see delivered to a US residence is a lot more reasonable than what we get up here, and with the exchange rate to Canadian dollar it'll cost over $300 CDN ,the shipping alone is about$60 , but this nothing new to me I still find some good deals here and there. in this case though , there were no deals to be had.
 
mmcmdl, thanks for posting the pic of the chucks but as I mentioned in my last post I found a deal on a new chuck that I couldn't pass up.
BTW, you weren't kidding when you said yo had chucks coming out of your yen yang.:), I'm sure others will find a few good ones from the pile.
I have 27 spares for the 1 I never use ! :)
