Queen fixed blade info needed

I got this queen knife for free and I was wanting some information about it. There is no tang stamp. The only way I knew that it was a queen was because of the big “Q” logo in the middle of the handle.
Does anyone know the model#, and approximate date of manufacture??
Thanks

I am in the same boat as you. I got this today and I am looking at tang stamp charts, but I am not seeing what year this was made. Anyone out there have an idea what year the tang stamp on my blade would be?
I think the "Made in the USA" marking was during or just after the 40's...

I can find a chart for the tang stamps on folders, but I am not seeing this tang stamp anywhere

I'd guess 1945-55. There is a tang stamp with the crown over Q in the charts.

Think we're on track here...
I found this on page 40 of their 52 catalog that looks like a match for the big Q knife on the handle. Continues in years following
up to about 70 where the Q stamping is no longer stamped in the wood in the 72 release.
The Queen Cutlery Co looks older so your probably right on with the dating on it

Thank you!! I think you solved the mystery for me. There is the faintest indication of that same pattern on my blade as well. I thought I might have had a fillet knife but the blade stock seemed too thick, now I know that it has been sharpened a lot.
