Do I have a flip-flop stem?

So yeah, how do I tell if my stem can be flipped? Can I tell just by looking? Mine is a plain aluminum one without any logos, I have seen some with logos that go both ways, but mine has none.

A bar stem that can be flipped to change your bars from say a -6 to +6 degree rise.

Thanks guys, I took it off and inspected it, and the wall thickness and shape are the same all the way around, so it will work. I just wanted to make sure that flipping it wouldn't increase the chances of it snapping on me or anything. The track drops on my new Masi are a bit too "aggressive" for me, so I thought I would flip the stem to raise them an inch or so.
