I'm looking on Amazon and they have Timkin bearings. Description does not state country of manufacture but the photos clearly show them stamped USA. Has anyone bought these recently that can verify that they are USA bearings or is Amazon using a 7 year old stock photo for the product?

Best bet is to click the link and ask Amazon the question. Timken has them made in the USA and China.

stamped timken I would not worry they make quality products. no matter where they came from.

I just received my TIMKEN bearings from Amazon and I'm happy to say that they are all stamped USA. Thanks to everyone who chimed in.

There is no such thing as "Timkin bearings". The O.P. already replied that he made a typing error and has received more intellectual responses. :R

They have been the standard of the industry for a long time. Genuine products can be bought with confidence. They have a long industrial reputation for excellence.

Timken makes their own steel, runs their own operations, and even if they contract out an operation, they run the QC there.
Until that changes, Timken is all I will buy if the quality matters.
