old queen knife
I don't know anything about Queen knives so I'll post these as questions. 2 blade equal end with the old clear handles with advertising on them. Can't make it out but part of it is for a safety award in 1933. Has the tang stamp Queen City / Titusville P.A. According to my book this is a rare stamp and was used until abt 1933. Don't know if this is original but the blades have been in the frame for a long time as they show the evidence of the handles gassing out. Comments?

I was wondering should this be left alone - redo with Roger's bone - Winterbottom stag - or something else? Not too pretty like it is but the blades are almost full.

Re: old queen knife
It's a shame Bob but you're going to have to do something and the sooner the better. I'm hooked on Culpeppers Catalina Amber jigged bone but that's just me. Stag always looks good.
I don't know how long it takes for outgassing to destroy a knife but neither do I want to find out. It would be a good idea to get those handles off there ASAP.
