Skip tooth chain with Diamond and "USA" embossed

[climbamnt]

Hi all,

I have a diamond skip tooth chain that also has "USA" ebossed in the links. How is this different from the diamond chains that only have the diamond embossed on them?

I think this is how the last of the diamond 1" bicycle chains were marked, I bought a dozen or so like this from Island Cycle in the 1990s, when I went back for more they were sold out and discontinued.
