Queen #20 -1932-1955

The Queen Cutlery Company manufactured knives in Titusville Pennsylvania for 96 years. The company opened its only factory there in 1919 and commenced to make some of the best US crafted cutlery you will find. Unfortunately, the Titusville manufacturing plant closed down in 2018.

Queen #20 -1932-1955

Post by canoeman »

Found this Queen #20 Texas toothpick in a pawn shop, and it has the 1932-1955 'Q only' tang stamp, but I am unsure of the handle material and approximate value. it looks to be bonestag or 2nd cut stag to me, I don't have many Queen's and the books I have basically is all about winterbottom and Rodgers bone. any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to AAPK canoeman!

You have a great looking Queen there. I can't answer your questions about it but someone should be along that can.

Yes, very nice knife! It looks more nicely finished to me than the pre-war Queen City knives and I think the company was doing more experimentation with bone handles after the war. If the blade etch is sandblasted, I would bet post WWII. No etch, I'd start leaning older

Thanks, for the info or insight, but it has NO Etch, just the 'crowned Q' tang stamp.
