    >I needed an antenna standoff support bracket a couple of weeks ago. I went
    >to West and they had a West branded knock off from China for $22 (p/n
    >184234). I decided I would rather see if I could get a US made one and
    >drove down the road to Boater's World. They had the identical Shakespere
    >branded product (p/n 408) for $13. Unfortunatly it was also made in China.

    >When a West-branded antenna mount was comparable to a Shakespeare or Lily
    >and costs less, I bought it. The lineage of these products are sometimes
    >transparent. A West SS antenna standoff device is identical to one in the
    >store branded Sea-Fit. So we are back to China or Taiwan again.
