Oh, Oh. I know this one. Call on me!
Mine say "Nicholson 49" and "Nicholson 50" right on them.
Beside that, the teeth on the both sides have sort of a wave
appearence as they line up across the width of the rasp. My
other cheaper garden variety POS rasps don't exhibit this wave
effect.
Hope this helps.
Glad I got mine before Galootonimics drove the price up!
