Queen Shield? “Queen City Knife”

[Clark23]

I like to know if anyone else has any Queen City knives with a Queen Shield. This came to be a question because I was informed that the shield is what was used by Henry Sears before Queen City came about. I want to see more knives by Queen with this exact Shield to help me find my answer. TIA

"QUEEN" was used on shields but not by Henry Sears. Knives marked "Henry Sears and Sons 1865" sometimes had the QUEEN shield but Henry Sears and Sons 1865 was merely a marketing brand of Farwell, Ozmun, & Kirk a wholesale firm. Knives marked Henry Sears and Sons 1865 were made by more than a few companies over the years. I do not know if the posted knife's "QUEEN" shield was to represent Queen or not, most knives I have seen with a QUEEN shield have also been marked Henry Sears and Sons 1865. Henry Sears and Sons 1965 marked knives were made while Queen Cutlery Co was active, I think Farwell, Ozmun, and Kirk used that brand name until the late 1950s.

Here is an interesting knife - 4" closed serpentine stockman.

HENRY SEARS & SON - 1865 is the tang stamp, QUEEN shield.

This is obviously a contract knife made by Schrade, 861 pattern, 1950's era with brown peachseed bone handles.

Do you know the significance of the Queen shields being on Henry Sears knives?

No; I'm guessing it was just a trademark that they decided to use.
