This is from Wikipedia (I didn't know what a Keen Kutter was):

"Items bearing the Keen Kutter trademark are considered collectible. There were numerous items produced which have cross collectibility. Pocket knives, hand tools, railway locks, and advertising items from Keen Kutter are of interest to many collectors. Jerry and Elaine Heuring, authors of Collector's Guide To Keen Kutter, have documented current values and general information in their books. The Hardware Companies Kollector's Klub founded in 1995 is another great source of information for Keen Kutter collectors."

Hope it helps.

garfunkle, i'm a winchester collector so i know about the company and a small bit about what they made, but thanks.

billymade, the book might be a help if the prices are current, she has an older book but you know how collector markets fluctuate.


what i'm hoping for is a collector that can help with current prices and MAYBE someone who would be interested in the lot. i know selling by the piece would bring more money, but it could take a while and i think he would rather turn them quicker!
