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

Love the toothpick pattern! This is a nice one!
Well, according to the latest version of Sargent's book from 2008, this is what a mint version of each would bring (although I think Sargent's values are a tad on the high side of realistic prices). The best way to see what the knife is worth is to watch Ebay auctions and see what a knife in similar condition to yours is bringing.
Queen # 5 Senator Pen with Winterbottom bone. mint = $30-$40
(I think) Queen City, #10 Jack, with Winterbottom bone. mint = $80-$90 (this exact knife with this shield isn't listed in Sargent's book)
Queen City, Heavy Jack, black composition handles. mint = $50-$60
Don,Thanks for sharing. These are a lot like a Queen #10, but they were not so labeled till after WWII. There is a new resource added to the Queen Historical Documents website that shows color photographs of Queen Knives before 1980 - They are from the 7th (and final) Sargent book referenced above and they are WONDERFUL, Very excited. Here is a link showing an old Queen City heavy Jack - looks like yours but with bone.

Lots of great items on the Queen site!

Don- I'm guessing the Queen City knife is 37/8"closed?? It appears to be a Queen City 2 blade jack in Winterbottom bone (circa 1922-1932) It was valued at $125 back in 1999 in Jim Sargent's " American Premium Guide to Knives & Razors". Add 17 years to the present time, $125 ++
Carl- the little knife is 2 1/2 inch closed,Don told me. It is a Queen #5 Senator pen knife in winterbottom bone circa 1932 -1955
How long are those 2 knives when closed? And is there more to the tang stamp on the equal-end pen knife other than the Q logo? It's hard to tell for sure from the photo.
