All About Pocket Knives

I came across three older Queen City knives in a small collection I purchased the other day. One was a rough black 2 blade jack knife that was familiar with. The other two not so much. I did see from a tang stamp chart that these appear to very early Queen knives. Any info appreciated

If the top knife with the celluloid handles is 3", it is a pattern 38 swell-center pen.

If the Rogers bone handled jack measures 3 3/4", it is a pattern #10 Heavy Jack. if it is 4 1/2" it's a pattern #28 English Jack.

I only have one.
This swell end capped jack. Some sort of composition covers.
A very solid knife with a strong spring.

great find!!!!

Now I have two!
I bought another of this very fine Queen City jack knife. 3 3/4" closed.
The spring isn't quite so strong on this one. Maybe because of more use, which is obvious.
I wish they came with different covers. So they are.
I'm wondering what they would look like with black paper Micarta.
These are great workingmans knives.

Those are some great finds there Joe!

Thank you Gone2Three, I really like them.
