In what country is this made?

Made in USA! If you go to the Starrett website and search the item's number, in this case 135A, the description that comes up will show a US flag if made in the USA. If not, a stylized image of the globe (the earth) will show for "Global Series."

which would be a better buy the 135a at 2.5" or 135b at 3.5" ?

I have only a 2.5" Starrett level, it is very good for me. I cannot give an opinion for the 3.5" level. Richard

What is the packaging like? Mine came loose in a small box. Nothing else inside, is this normal?

Yes, mine also come loose in the Starrett box. They work fine, we use them in our travel kits, never had any problems with them.
