The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel
Knives have been made at the factory of Queen Cutlery Company of Titusville Pennsylvania for over 100 years. It is arguably the oldest and last American Cutlery that truly continues to produce knives in the same way as they were produced there when the factory opened in 1902. The factory’s first tenant was the Schatt & Morgan Cutlery Company: Queen Cutlery Company displaced Schatt & Morgan there in 1933. Queen City Cutlery Company first began to produce knives in 1918 around the end of the First World War, incorporated in 1922, and shortened their name to “Queen Cutlery Company” in January of 1946. Purchased by Daniels Family Cutlery Corporation on September 18, 2012

LOL, I think you may be right Stanley LOL
Jan the answer is yes you will need that one too.
Jim, I am a cotton sampler fan so I am looking forward to seeing this one. I know the Mahogany will be jigged. It will be interesting to see if I need that one too LOL
This Queen Classic is being done by Franks Classics. I hope it has his old man shield! Interesting thought on the Blade stamp, dont even know if there will be one
Another Cotton Sampler. Since the blade design is like the other Queen/Perdue issue I assume ?? the blade stamp will be the same. ??? on Stag since the previous one was stag. If they do it in Mahogany it would be virtually identical to the W. R. Case issue around 1900/1915 era.
I think the Queen tang stamp fold-out is under revision. I am quite certain there have been more stamp variations than shown since the 1991-1996 version. Carl's looks just like, but "Titusville" is larger. And it is clear that not every knife shows the year of production after 1990. (While many do) - There are a bunch of ambiguities about modern Queen knives, especially during the later Servotronics era, IMO. I think a lot of them relate to the economics and sponsor decisions of various SFO knives and limited runs - such as you might get in nice pearl handled ones. Leaving off the year saves a bit of money in new stamps and set-up, and leaves a little more flexibility in marketing and selling.
Moving forward, more special editions announced through the Internet provides more chances a given knife can be located in history. I hope Queen's current emphasis on documentation continues, but SFOs will often remain a mystery. I am OK with this state of affairs, since it adds a bit more interest to the search - the catalogs will never be enough.
