Need help Identifying Please

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.

Need help Identifying Please

Post by cbirnbaum »

I took possession of a Schatt and Morgan knife that I am unable to identify. It came in a O442SK box, but I don't think that is accurate. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. I have attached some pictures.

How long is it in when closed? It looks like it might be one of the "Keystone Series", like the 042151.

Hmm, the 042151 is a 3 1/2" mini trapper. A full-size trapper is 4 1/8". The link I posted above to the Keystone flyers doesn't show a 4 1/8" trapper in 2006. However, it says that series was a run of 600. Your knife clearly says it is 1 of 50. I would therefore surmise yours is a special run that probably wasn't in the normal catalogs. That's not unusual for Queen's S&M lines. Sorry I can't be of more help. Nice knife!

TFL, that is a great spread on the S&M knives.
We need to emphasize how important an exact measurement is when identifying a questionable pattern.
