Rasps score
Scored these off ebay for 5 cents Postage was $15.50 but still very good value. It was hard to see what they were in the auction so was a bit of a gamble. 3 Wiltshire (Australia) rasps, including the giant round one (I think this is a rasp but may be a file either way it is plenty course enough to use on timber) 1 Arcade (America) rasp and one Wiltshire half round bastard file. They are all in geat condition and should be more than capable of shaping me a nice jarrah handle for my brass backed saw.
I already have a handle less smaller Wiltshire rasp so now I just need to make a set of nice matching handles for them all. As I don't have a lathe I will be having a go at hand forming a set. One of the rasps already has a hand formed oval handle that actually feels very nice to hold so I may copy that idea.

Nice Score. The round one looks like a round bastard file or also known as a rat-tail file. If you are interested do a google search for nicholson files. They have a good listing of what files and rasps are available.
Have a nice day - Cheers

Yep a good score indeed Burnsy. Got a few like that at the markets, (my favourite tool hunting ground) but not in as good a condition as yours.
Well done, and very handy every now and then.
Cheers
