Keen
Kutter KK #140 Rabbit Plane
This unusual
rabbit plane looks to have been made for Simmons by Sargent. It is a rare
plane by Sargent and double so when marked Keen Kutter / Simmons. A rare
& desirable plane!! There is a crack in the lever cap, but it is unmarked and can be changed out easily with something proper that will match. Or I will do it for you for an additional $50.00.

Keen
Kutter #312 (#112) Scraper Plane
This Keen Kutter #312 Scraper
plane is in pretty nice original condition. There is well over 80% of
the original japanning. I have not had one of these in years and so the handle
looks strange to me but it also has a different body style than Stanley's and
I believe this plane was made by Ohio or Sargent for Simmons who marketed it
as a Keen Kutter. The cutter is a replacement for sure.

Keen
Kutter #18 Knuckle Joint Cap Block Plane
This looks like an Ohio Tool Co. product from the
configuration of the round handy feature.

Keen
Kutter KK #3 by Ohio Tool Co.
Simmons
Hardware of St Louis MO was the premier tool and houswares distributor in the
Midwest during the early part of the last Century and before. Simmons Hdwre.
Co. Keen Kutter KK series planes were made for them by a few different
makers including Ohio Tool Co, and Sargent. This nice example was made
for them by Ohio as can be deduced by the form of the handle and the shape of
the body style. Over the years Simmons switched back and forth using different
manufacturers at different periods, I suppose because the bid for those years
was more attractive. Sargent and later Ohio made the later versions
with the Mahogany handles and 4 digit # or the no number varieties to identify
the plane. Stanley made those that have a single K preceding the # to
designate the planes #. This same numbering system is true for Winchester
planes from the same period and those planes date from the teens and 20's as
well. This example is in super condition and has no major defects or problems that need to be reported. It has over 95% of the original japanning, the throat is nice, and the cuter is near full length as well. The early and graceful style Rosewood knob and handle are very nice also. If you look at the horn and base of this handle and compare it to the Stanley made models it is easy to see that Ohio or another maker produced these handles as they are notably different. It is a good one and there will be no disappointments with this plane.

Keen
Kutter # 10 1/2 Rabbit Plane
This is a
super plane and is in overall excellent condition. It is a first model
rabbeting plane with the moveable front piece to help adjust for varying types
of cuts that were to be made on different species or hardness of wood.
There is well over 90% of the original black japanning on the body, and the
sides and sole are rust-or pit-free, and simply show a beautiful even dark patina
that can only come through age and careful storage. I believe that this
plane was made by Ohio Tool Co. given the distinctive shape and style of the
rear handle being the telling feature. The cutter is proper and original
and carries the KK logo. The one apology for this plane is that there
is some chipping of, and three small crack lines at the base of the front
knob. It still works as it should, and will be fine for the display shelf,
but they are there, and I am grading it as G+ for this reason alone,
as it would otherwise easily fall into the Excellent range with no arguments.

Keen Kutter KK #5 1/2C by Ohio Tool Co. This Keen Kutter KK series plane came from the same bench as the one above, and is in similar condition. The body, the knob and handle, the cutter etc are all nice, and this one spent most of its time on the shelf and was never abused. It has been lightly cleaned and just exhibits a nice even brown patina. It is a good one and there will be no disappointments with this plane either.

Keen Kutter # K4C (Bedrock #604C By Stanley) Stanley made, and in good overall condition, this early corrugated Bedrock plane which Simmons marketed under their Keen Kutter name will make a great user. The handle has a tight crack but otherwise the plane is very nice, proper and original.
Good . . . . . $125.00 SOLD
Keen Kutter #K5 (Bedrock #605 By Stanley) These Keen Kutter K series planes, as opposed to the KK series planes by Keen Kutter are actually Bedrock planes made by Stanley for the Simmons Hardware Co. Sargent made the later ones with the Mahogany handles and 4 digit # to identify the plane, while the Stanley made these that have a single K preceding the # to designate the planes #. This same # system is true for Winchester planes from the same period and they date from the teens and 20's. This series of "Bedrock" planes, which many hold to be the best plane ever designed or produced, either back then or today, are a favorite with both users and collectors alike. These planes were made by Stanley to the same exacting standards as their own line of highly regarded Bedrock series of planes with the most notable differences being the twisted lateral and the unmarked lever caps. This prime example is in super condition and has no major defects or problems that need to be reported. It has over 90% of the original japanning, the throat is nice, and the cuter is near full length as well. The Rosewood knob and handle are very nice also. It is a good one!!
