 E. C. Simmons Hardware Co. KK / Keen Kutter
Woodworking Planes



Simmons Hardware Keen Kutter K 3 (603 Stanley Bedrock)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 of bench planes.  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.  Later planes, or those by other makers are marked KK and the number. 

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 PlaneKeen 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 KK 5 Bench PlaneKeen 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 Rosewood handle is worth the money on a nicer plane that needs it.
