Do I have an Avenir stem?

This is the stem my bike had on it up until last week, it's super light, just a little too long for me:



Today I saw this pic on Sheldon Brown's site of his IRO bike, and that Avenir stem looks pretty much exactly like mine except for the length and the angle.

Wonder how much these went for? Looking on Avenir's site it looks like they're not made anymore. I wish I could find one like Sheldon's, because IMHO that single clamping screw that pushes against the side of the steerer tube seems superior than 2 exterior clamping bolts.
