Never specifically overruled. Still in force? According to Josh, yes.

It ranks on my "worst SCOTUS opinions ever" list. The "manufacturing is outside the commerce power, even if it done by a national or multinational company to produce goods for sale all over the country" principle is as dumb as the Supreme Court ever got.

It's the Pennoyer v. Neff of Commerce Clause law. Unless you are actually caught in the act of carting it across state lines, it has nothing to do with "interstate".

That whole era, courts gave cramped constructions that seem ridiculous to us now.
