The guy I got all this paperwork from had quite a large display in his upscale furniture store back then. He has a bunch left but is not inclined to let any go, yet. He said they were very pricey and not hot sellers but to a smaller clientel set. he sold quite a few Queens.

I have a lot of old A.G. Russell catalogs around and those were pricey when issued. The F&W series is one of my favorites. I still like the anniversary series the best. A.G. Russell use to offer all them. Wish I had the money back then to purchase them.
Do you know Rob, how many of each pattern was offered at the time?

All of the Annual Reproduction Series or Keystone Series knives were made with 600 each. With the exception of the first year 1991, nobody knows how many were made that year.
