Do Simmons Hardware records still exist somewhere?

[Bill Murphy]

William Wagner was a VIP type of dealer and ended up with many interesting guns like the little C grade 20 hammer show gun that shows up in PB order books so many times.

To my knowledge no records have been kept by any of the companies who came to own Simmons Hardware. The THCKK group could have different information, but Simmons Hardware/Keen Kutter is collected by many people. It's massive to see one of their catalogs. I have one from 1930 and it's quiet extensive. They were a BIG hardware jobber for many years and remnants of records are collectable in and of themselves. Their home office was in St. Louis, and they distributed goods across our country.
