When was it made??

Post by upnorth »

This little barlow, marked Queen City, seems pretty rare. It could be a 60s-70s repro, or it could date from the early days of Queen (Queen City) when they bought out the S&M factory around 1931.
It is in quite nice condition, and has what looks like traditional Winterbottom bone handles. I've included a regular sized Barlow for comparison.
Does anyone know any more?

Not a repro - its the real thing. Another one that you beat me for on Ebay @#$%^

That is a cute little knife and right as rain, IMHO.

knifeaholic I do feel for you in your hunt for a deal on E-bay.

Could it be that the Canadian dollar is worth more than the US dollar is now ? ::shrug:: and upnorth is paying for things on E-bay with US dollars ?... :shock:
