Simmons
Hardware Co. Keen Kutter K 3 (603 Stanley Bedrock)
Simmons Hardware had
different makers produce planes for them at different periods. There was one
period in the early 1900's when they contracted out the bench plane
production to Stanley and ordered those planes to be designed like the Stanley Bedrock
series. They were marked with a single K and the #. These would correspond
to the early round side Stanley Bedrocks and have the same design frog and adjustment
as early Stanley Bedrocks did. The tag indicates I sold this to him back in the early 90's. Neither of us bothered cleaning it but that is all it needs to be a top shelf example. They are a pretty hard to find plane.

Keen
Kutter KK #113 Compass Plane
This is a pretty nice example of a hard
to find plane sold by Simmons hardware of Keen Cutter fame. Simmons had their
planes made by different manufacturers over the years, and this one appears to be
made by Stanley. The body is marked 113, the front knob is marked properly,
and the cutter has the KK logo. The one odd feature is the frog's lateral
is marked Stanley. It looks original and proper, and doesn't look like it's
been changed out---but it's unusual for it to be marked that way.

Keen Kutter Bench Planes
On the left is a KK 5 1/2..
It looks like an Ohio made plane. It has a nice glossy coat of preservative
on it. The top one is a K5 which means it is a Bedrock, and made by Stanley.
It too has been over coated with some sort of protective gloss finish.

Kutter KK 5 Bench Plane
It looks like an Ohio made plane to
me with that handle. The collector thought it was by Union, but I do not think
that is right. There is not a lot of paint left, but the plane is very nice
otherwise, and the handle is worth the money.

Simmons Hardware had different makers produce
their planes at different periods. From the handle and other characteristics
we can assume this plane was made for them by Ohio Tool. It is in very nice
overall condition noting the missing japanning.

Kutter K K # 7 by Ohio Tool Co.
The KK 7 is the one in front. The
KK8 is the same as the one above. Simmons Hardware had different makers produce
their planes for them at different periods, including Sargent and Stanley.
. From the handle and other characteristics we can assume this plane was also
made for them by Ohio Tool. It is in very nice overall condition noting the
small hang hole and some light rust.
