Re: Queen Cutlery out of business
I just found out that Daniels sold all his shares to Howard in 2011, making Howard the CEO & President. So, that's old news.

Yep____________GEC has ""NO TIES"" to Queen or the Daniels family -- Bill Howard bought all Ken Daniels GEC Stock, in 2011

Re: Queen Cutlery out of business
"Howard Daniels Corporation" is the name of the holding company that was created by Bill Howard & Ken Daniels when GEC was founded.

You will also see it listed on the Pennsylvania gov website if you go to this link and then search for "Howard Daniels". This site actual shows "Great Eastern Corporation" as the current name, and "Howard Daniels Corporation" as the prior name.

For $3 you can order their articles of incorporation that were amended in 2015 that would show all the officers of the company.

Re: Queen Cutlery out of business
Also - if you use the pa.gov search above for "Great Eastern Cutlery", you will find that it is listed as a fictitious business name owned by... "Howard Daniels Corporation", which as we now know, is the prior name of "Great Eastern Corporation" ...

Re: Queen Cutlery out of business
O.K., now that this is established:
"GEC has ""NO TIES"" to Queen or the Daniels family -- Bill Howard bought all Ken Daniels GEC Stock, in 2011 "
it is most unlikely that GEC has an interest in acquiring the very old machinery that Queen has been using for almost 100 years, or the rights to the Queen name.
Good.

Re: Queen Cutlery out of business
Has Queen had a closing auction yet. I'm starting to see a few Ebay sellers saying "This Item came from Queen Out of Business auction" I can't find and new about that auction happening. Any News ?????????

Re: Queen Cutlery out of business
I'm pretty sure that can't happen until the bankruptcy court works out the details of the Chapter 7 procedure.

Re: Queen Cutlery out of business
Maybe I missed it but the seller doesn't mention a Queen auction in his text. He just said they were bought directly from Queen when they went out of business.

I doubt there are any completed knives at the factory to auction off.

Re: Queen Cutlery out of business
Queen made some good blades and they will be missed. Sad about that whole story but totally understandable. Found this at the AAPK Store and ripped my pocket getting my money out. She is all good, too.
