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.
