Reply to comment by Psnuggs in My collection of US Made Stanley Aladdin vacuum bottles. Left to right: 2001, 1989, 1969, and 1990. All still work flawlessly. by Psnuggs

Are modern Stanley thermoses not as good?

I have several and they work perfectly. People like to get romantic about products from the past and act as if they’re superior but Stanley makes a great product to this day.

There is a lot of anecdotal evidence suggesting that the quality control is lacking and the chances of getting a good one is hit and miss. There is likely survivor bias as well: the US made ones that stopped working got thrown away, so all that’s left are the good ones.
