I should have known it was too good to be true. 
I ordered of of these "Bison" half centers on Amazon from a third party seller.
Machine Shop Discount Supply
After opening the USPS package and taking out the generic looking box from inside I already knew I'd been taken. The printed up large label on the box reads BISON CENTERS. The tiny label on the back of the box reads Japan. Sure enough, it contains a plain carbide tipped center with no identifying groove at the tip and no Bison logo or markings at all. Someone BADLY ground half of the tip off with an angle grinder.

Of course being a third party seller, I can't return it to Amazon and have to wait days now to see if they will ALLOW me to return the item for a refund. Amazon is just as bad as eBay these days with the bait and switch scum they allow to sell there.
