Well, when I lived there, some 50 years ago, they were manufactured
in Central Africa!  They are known by lots of other names, too, and
are well-known for being the best type for use in hard ground.  I
have a VERY worn one in my shed.

This is totally unhelpful, but isn't that typical of Usenet?  Good
luck, anyway.

Nick Maclaren.
