Nice box, Skip.
Here are three that I have had for a while. Posted before in other forums, but not this one. The one on the right is the oldest.

The latest KEEN KUTTER memorabilia to join my collection. They are E. C. SIMMONS, KEEN KUTTER pencil toppers. They measure 1 3/4" long and the "buttons" are 7/8" in diameter. Three of the four still have Whitehead - Hoag Newark NJ maker information printed around the bottom edges of the "buttons." They are all in VERY GOOD condition. No cleaning was necessary. I took some pictures and here they are.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

Neat old EC Simmons St. Louis display case. Perfect condition. Any idea how old this might be?

All I got is pre 1940 and I love it!

Very nice buckshot22! Now you have to fill it up with Keen Kutters.

These belong to a friend of mine. Box is 5.5" X 10" and appears to be made of Oak.

Very nice find, Olde Cutler!

Don't know for sure, no keys in the box with the locks.

The box would of originally had tableware in it not locks.

Right you are. After reading the fine print inside the lid of the box, it refers to knives and silverware. It says that if the silver is stripped from one dozen, the weight will prove to be 16 DWTS.

I found this, KEEN KUTTER related photograph (1904), while searching for something else.
Here is the information provided:
Simmons Hardware windmill in the Palace of Manufactures
Louisiana Purchase Exposition (1904, Saint Louis, Mo.) Exhibitions & Displays
Simmons Hardware Company. A striking feature of the Simmons Hardware exhibit at
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, the 1904 World's Fair, was a tall windmill, with its
sails decorated with axe heads. Simmons exhibited its Keen Kutter brand cutlery and
edging tools in the Manufactures building.
