Poking around in the DAT, I found two references to Lakeside

Lakeside - Braces - Ref to MW brand name, "but not known when they
started to use it, or if it was used otherwise"

Lakeside Tool Co. - Planes - "This company was reported as a hardware
dealer whose planes were made by 'Union'"

Additionally, Lakeside is listed as a brand of Maxwell & Co, S. A.
They made razor strops, thermometers and stationery store items like
drafting sets , steel erasers, compasses and pencils.

And finally, Lakeside Saw & Tool Co is listed as in business from 1909
- 1919, in IL as a Saw maker, but outside DAT scope

MW's listing is from 1872 - 1994, dealer, used their name or Lakeside
on tools, but not sure if it was used before 1900, which is DAT's
limit.  Also used Riverside.

More kindling on the fire.
