Queen City #7C

I just got this one yesterday. It is very near mint. It has the delrin winterbottom handles and the closed length of it is 2 1/2 inches. The tang has 90 stamped on it so I assume it was made in 1990. Does anyone know anything more about this little knife?

That was part of what Queen referred to as the "Queen Classic Carbon" series or maybe it was "Queen City Classic Carbon".....anyway it was a short-lived (90 and 91 only I believe) line of traditional patterns with Queen's standard winterbottom delrin handles and 1095 carbon steel blades instead of Queen's regular stainless steel. On some of the knives, the small blade had the mark QCCC..probably so that they could tell that it was a carbon knife from this series in the factory during the final finishing and etching stages.

Yes this one is stamped QCCC. I forgot to mention that. Thanks for the info.
