I seem to remember a brief discussion of Lakeside in the past, leaving

If you search the Archives, I suspect you may find something. Quite a
few of the large, old hardware stores used to have manufacturers make up
private label versions of their products, and some of these lines - Keen
Kutter, for example - are sought by collectors and were decent tools.
