Old Queen Cutlery Co. Knives

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.

Here is an old Queen City hawk.

This one has a linerlock on it, most unusual.

Hi

I've been collecting Queen knives for a long time. I just came across one on ebay that caught my eye, a BOOT Knife. Has anyone ever seen one of these?

Thanks
Scott

How about a 1925-33 Jack? The one on top. Disregard the lower as it is not a Queen.

Thank you John. They are two of my favorite knives and both mint condition. At least never used, carried or sharpened.

If the handles are imitation Winterbottom bone; 1973 - 1975, base on the tang stamp.

I hope this one fits here its an old Schatt & Morgan Gowanda New York.
I would like to know more about it. I Guess it's original but if not tell me why.
I have a book that says it was made between 1890-1895 and a book that says 1897-1902. Which one is correct?

Wow! Lots of very nice old knives. Most older than my experience. I was struck by the liner lock hawkbill- I have seen very few of them. Posted one a good while back that had a similar, but brass liner lock, and a long SFO serial number - Most people seeing it say if must have been a govt. contract knife. That hawkbill is one of the few knives that Queen has dropped and replaced a different knife with the same "1L" pattern number, only now it is the swing guard lockback. I do not know for sure when it happened but probably just before 1992 when the new lockbacks were first issued.

Thanks for these very nice knife pics.
