Ren,

I don't think anyone gave an answer regarding the "Everkeen" brand yet --
It was a label used by Pritzlaff, a hardware wholesaler that was based in
Milwaukee. Their building still stands, it's a huge old Cream City Brick
warehouse building darkened by a century of dirt and soot, located just
south of Downtown between the post office and the Milwaukee River. You can
still see the Pritzlaff name faintly on the east face of the building. I
don't know when Pritzlaff went out of business but the building housed a
furniture store when I was a kid in the '60s.

Everkeen tools aren't uncommon -- they seem to pop up in Wisconsin often
enough, though last year I saw more Witherbys in the wild than Everkeens.
I have an Everkeen drawknife I inherited from Dad, also a small hatchet
and a couple chisels with the name. The few bench planes I've run across
were very cheaply built with sheet metal frogs. There exist better quality
planes - mjdtools.com has pictures of a couple that seem pretty nice.

I haven't gotten around to sharpening the edge tools yet so I can't judge
their quality, but the fit & finish seem on a par with most of the other
chisels I've managed to pile up.

Amen.
