What a strange bird!!! A counterfeit Keen Kutter ash tray and matchbox holder.  Someone is trying to be creative, but it still a counterfeit.  Made by welding a Keen Kutter watch FOB to some other metal.

fakes.2

Fake watch FOB.  Originals have maker’s “LE” mark on backside bottom point.

This is a counterfeit Keen Kutter watch FOB because it does not have the initials LE on the back side, towards the lower point of the logo.  It looks very good, but it is a counterfeit.

Here is a counterfeit Keen Kutter belt buckle.  Without looking at the back of the Keen Kutter logo it is hard to say whether the logo is a real watch FOB or a fake. The buckle measures about 3 13/16" x 2 3/4".  Sorry, the only way I could copy the picture from the Web auction site was to take a negative (reverse image) of such.

This is the waffle iron that those who do not know call a salesman’s sample.  However, it is a fake.  The griddle on this fake is about 3-7/8 inches and has a wooden handle.  The real and large size waffle iron has a wire twist handle.

This is a piece of lead about 3 1/2 inches across and 3/16 tall.  It looks like someone poured lead into a Keen Kutter waffle iron.  I hope that they did not try to eat it for breakfast.

fake_prwt

Looks like someone copies the top part of a Keen Kutter letterhead and glues it on the back of a paperweight.  

fake_krautktr

Someone stamped the Keen Kutter logo on this slaw cutter.  We have seen this same stamped logo on other fake Keen Kutter items.

I guess that the person who made this fake thought that if one Keen Kutter logo was good that they would do better by placing two logos on the face of this scale.   Another example is below.

http://i.ebayimg.com/08/%21Bo9J5RgCGk%7E$%28KGrHqIOKiwEuZwZsFhzBLpi-O%2820%21%7E%7E_3.JPG

A scale which has had placed on either side and in the front Keen Kutter logos.  Such a scale never was made by E. C. Simmons.  If an item was been used and has wear and tear and the Keen Kutter logos are perfect, then walk away from such.  A waste of $135.00

Take your pick, they are all fakes.

This seems to be a new fake.  Someone has taken a 4” wrench and stamped Keen Kutter on each side.

The engraving of "The Winchester Store" brass spittoon is so poorly done, that only a person who does not how to spell Winchester would want it.  The "s" on Winchester looks like a backward "c".  The item is 2 and 1/4 inches high with the base about 2 inches high.

This is a fake Winchester advertising glass rolling pin with “The Winchester Store” etched on it.  This piece is 13” long and 2 ¾” diameter.  Looks like the same etching pattern as is on the oil lamp above.

An interesting pocket watch.  A paper dial, what more should I add.  Nice watch, but counterfeit Winchester watch.
