Keen Kutter Pencil Clip

Today's item is from one of my favorite brands: Keen Kutter. This is another fascinating item by the company. I am guessing they gave these away as a free gift for customers or were given to them when they purchased pencils. This is the old pre-40's version as it has E.C.Simmons on the upper loop. These were used for advertising. Unlike most Keen Kutter items, this one actually has the slogan, and to this date I personally believe it still holds the truth, as many cheap knock-offs are being made.
