A couple of years ago at a flea market I came across a box full of 
new rasps being sold for 3$ apiece.  I picked one up and it said 
Nicholson 49 right on it.  But : the file was very lightweight (and
thin) and didn't look or feel right somehow.  I've never seen a 49
or 50 in the flesh but these just looked like cheap copies to me.
I passed on them (though I probably wouldn't today :-).

Anyone heard of files being counterfeited ?
