My Newest Queen And She's Clean

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.

My Newest Queen And She's Clean

Post by New_Windsor_NY »

I don't collect Queen pocket knives per se. In fact, this one is only my third. But something about this one caught my eye, so I bought it. She arrived today and after a VERY gentle cleaning, she did clean up nice, she is ready to join my family. The "before" pictures are here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=46672&start=1635#p761373
These are the "after" pictures. She measures 4" closed. Click on a picture to ENLARGE.

Nice old knife ! I don't have my books with me but from the bone i would say it was made in 1930's to early 1940's. Similar looking bone is found on many of the WW II issued folding knives.

Thank you Roland.::handshake:: According to the Queen tang stamp chart, it might possibly be from between 1945-1948. ::shrug::
