Recently I picked up a couple of blank E.C. SIMMONS KEEN KUTTER price tags.
They are both oval shaped and in mint condition.

Those ads you have are interesting. ::tu::
I love reading old ads.
Is the corner of the bottom ad missing or is it folded under?
I can't really tell.

This book is a reprint from a E.C. Simmons catalog. My dad bought this probably 25/30 years ago? ::shrug:: it's been in my nightstand (his old one, I inherited my parent's house) since he passed away in 2009, I finally got around to posting some pictures of it (after I've perused it about 500 times 😁, like I've stated in other threads--anything E.C. Simmons and Simmons Hardware are my favorite collectibles).. hen's teeth, some of these knives are...

Thanks for posting those, Ryan! Several years ago there were some of the KK Horseman's knives that were up for sale by a Mid-West auction company. I can still kick myself for not getting one. They don't come around that often.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

You're welcome, John 👍.. I won't make that mistake again, either.. a few years ago at a local gun show a guy had several rare push button knives. I didn't have enough cash on me at the time and planned on going back the next day and never made it .. I should have ran to atm right then...🤬
