Who's file guide is this?

It's mine! Lol.
Looks to be an Oregon or Grandberg, however, I've never used one.

I was going to guess it belonged to the OP but you beat me to it....LOL

I have the same one in a McCulloch package. Quite old.

As Mark's rig is on cardboard and covered in plastic, I suspect it is from the mid 1970's.

Looks like this one.
I got the photo from Philberts thread below.

Very nice! That's amazing, it's still in its original wrapping. Please let me know if you ever want to part with it. I think I read in the same thread it might be a 1958 model.

 

[Philbert]

Definitely old style Granberg 'File-N-Joint'. Versions were produced by different manufacturers, and sold under different names.

Looks like it's in working order with a little a little steel wool or Scotch-Brite.

I have one almost identical that is branded Craftsman.

I was close, mine is a Sears and Roebuck, bought it in the late 70's. I also have a similar one branded Oregon but it's not as sturdy and doesn't hold the angles and stops as well as the Sears.

Not trying to be a smart*ss; but curious if the guide was just mounted for the photo, or if you normally file with your chain in that direction? Also interested in that file.

Thanks.

I tried to take a photo on the bench but couldn't get it at the proper angle so I just set it on a bar. I'm not sure what your interest is in the file, it's just a triangle file for the rakers.

 

[Philbert]

I assumed that it was triangular, but it looked flat, so I just wanted to ask.

Some guys do things 'differently'; it is not always 'wrong'. And I am always interested in learning about other methods, so I ask.

Thanks.
