Early Queen City knives
Early Queen City knives
I came across three older Queen City knives in a small collection I purchased the other day. One was a rough black 2 blade jack knife that was familiar with. The other two not so much. I did see from a tang stamp chart that these appear to very early Queen knives. Any info appreciated
Re: Early Queen City knives
If the top knife with the celluloid handles is 3", it is a pattern 38 swell-center pen.
If the Rogers bone handled jack measures 3 3/4", it is a pattern #10 Heavy Jack. if it is 4 1/2" it's a pattern #28 English Jack.

Queen City. My favorite! Bruno.

I only have one.
This swell end capped jack. Some sort of composition covers.
A very solid knife with a strong spring.

Re: Early Queen City knives
great find!!!!
Re: Early Queen City knives
Now I have two!
I bought another of this very fine Queen City jack knife. 3 3/4" closed.
The spring isn't quite so strong on this one. Maybe because of more use, which is obvious.
I wish they came with different covers. So they are.
I'm wondering what they would look like with black paper Micarta.
These are great workingmans knives.
