Simmons hardware co was a catolog company based in St louis. Known for the KeenKutter brand of hardware. Razors were made in St Louis as well as imported from Germany. Check the backside of the tang for more info.

I have shaved with this one twice now and I think it needs a trip back to the hones as, whilst it shaves OK, it is not as smooth as the Geo F Creutzburg.
Just some fine tuning needed, I thinkHang on and enjoy the ride...

Simmons, Shapleigh and others made or imported wonderful shavers. That this one shaves well is no surprise.
'Very nice work on the cleanup. I think you'll be very happy w/ it.
