The Brown Manufacturing Company was founded in 1925 in Virginia, USA. It has been specializing in making wall-mounted bottle openers for almost a hundred years now. While the company changed hands a number of times since then, it is still located in the USA, more specifically just outside of Atlanta Georgia. This is where they put the finishing touches (printing, engraving, etc.) on the plain bottle openers they source from elsewhere. In the past they have produced some iconic bottle openers, some of which are seen as collectibles and have price-tags of up to several hundred dollars.
While they finish their bottle-caps in the USA, they do not cast them there anymore. Currently, their openers are cast in Germany, except for those made from stainless steel, which are cast in China (and so not listed on this website). If you’re willing to spend some more on a vintage opener though, all their openers cast before 2006 are cast in either the USA or Germany.
