Queen #10 Heavy Jack Barehead

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 #10 Heavy Jack Barehead

Post by bdev »

This is a first for me. I've never seen a #10 without a capped head. Are there any more out there? Please post if you have one.
Thanks.....Bruno

PS.... I just noticed that there are additional pins top center of the handles. The capped jacks do not have them.

Nice one, Bruno. ::tu::
I wonder what other choices were offered for covers in that era.

During wartime, 1942-45, I've never seen a #10 with anything but composite handles. This is the first one I've seen as a barehead.

I think you're right, Bruno.
I went looking for my Queen City jack which is capped just for comparison. (in my pictures) Couldn't find it.

I have 9 of these Queen City jacks besides this one and all of them are capped.
My other #10's (more than 20) that are post 1945, are capped.
