Age of this knife?

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.

That's a nice old Queen City jack, Andrew Gordon.
That stamp was used from 1922-1945.

That's a Queen City #10 Heavy Jack. As FRJ said, that tang stamp was used from 1922-45 but your knife was probably made 1942-45. It most likely has steel liners. If it has brass liners, it was probably made pre WW2.
Queen City. My favorite! Bruno. ::tu::

Thankyou, I found it in a 1944 dated US musette bag named to a Captain, as I collect WW2 knives it fits in!
