Queen's Poured Aluminum Frames

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.

I do not have one that I know of. But out of 134 Queens knives I may have one.... :D

What are the things I should look for other than it not being brass??

The frame is a poured single piece of aluminum with hidden back springs

I believe Queen still may make the alum Barlow, I think I have one from the late 90's maybe as new as 2003? The only other frame I've seen in the alum is the 2 blade cigar/jack that is pictured. Are you aware of any other styles?
