I was able to acquire this nice old Coke bottle QUEEN folder for cheap.....been uses but not abused...I cleaned it up a bit so it's ready to show or use and now I am enjoying a nice real Winterbottom bone specimen of this beautiful old knife brand...model 23?

If your knife measures 4.5", I believe it's a model 28 (if it has 2 blades).
The model 23 is a Barlow.

Alien883,
After looking at your knife and reading Bruno's response, I believe it to be a #38. Seeing it on your thigh made me think it was a big knife. If it is 5 1/4" closed with one blade, it is a #38. The #39 has 2 blades and a different shaped rear bolster.
Here might be the brother to yours:
- This one has a sideways "Q", indicating a '51-'54 date of mfg.

Treefarmer is correct. It's a #38. The pattern is a swell center.
My memory is getting rusty since I don't collect anymore (but I still love 'em
)

Just curious...What's the difference between a #38 and a #83?
Here's a 1991 #83 that I used to own (sold it)

Your #83 is a Schatt & Morgan. The #38 is a Queen. Both use the copperhead bolster design and a swell center. Basically the same knife.
Here's a link to the Keystone series....
