Queen Trapper

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.

Queen Trapper

Post by justold52 »

O was the winner of this Queens Trapper on ebay.

It is a #19. I am trying to find out about what year she may have been made.

??? Made in 1984-1989 ?????

I note that the nail nicks are not like the new ones made now days.

Each blade has it pointing out to the handle. I find that strange.

What year did Queens change the nail nicks on the trappers?

This is the only photos I have yet and I hope that helps.

Is the tang stamp a QSteel stamp? If so: 1956 - 1960. The attached may assist in dating Queen and S&M knives.

Pardon my typo please, the dates are 1958 – 1960 rather than 1956 – 1960.
