Reply:The square box lincoln welders were very common in Canada. Lincoln did make them in Canada. My flat top Idealarc 250 had a Made in Canada decal on it as well.JasonLincoln Idealarc 250 stick/tigThermal Dynamics Cutmaster 52Miller Bobcat 250Torchmate CNC tableThermal Arc Hefty 2Ironworkers Local 720
