Queen Cutlery & Friends

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

All I can say is that Queen Cutlery has always been hard to find.

Out of six hardware stores that used to be in town only 1 had a small

Queen display.  I found a large display about 4 ft tall by 5 ft wide in a 

Western Auto in a small delta town and bought a lot of knives from

there.  I found another Western Auto in another small delta town that sold

some queen but they said it had been years since they had seen a salesman.

I found a 10 knife display in a grocery store in Ms and a small 2x3 cabinet

in a Louisiana Western Auto.

Sometimes its like looking for chicken teeth.  They are supposed to be here

but where is here.

That's funny. Growing up here in PA, only 20 miles from the Queen factory, there was never a single hardware store or dealer that you could buy Queen knives from. The story was always that Case had the market cornered around here, so the bulk of Queen knives were shipped down south to the Gulf states for the majority of their sales, at least 1950's - 1980's era.

     I just realized that the first pocket knife that I ever saw was a amber

handled Queen and I still think they are one of the prettiest knives ever

made.  I guess that is the reason I have bought them for so long and will

continue to pick them up when the price is not unreasonable.

     In this area Queen Cutlery was usually sold by Western Auto Stores,

every once in a while you would run across a small hardware store that

sold them, but not often.

     I was always told that they were mostly a northern knife and that the

salesmen down in this area were few.  So this makes them hard to find

around here, especially the older ones.  And when you do find them most

of the time they were used hard.  But it hasn't stopped me from looking.

Well now I can say I have seen Queen Cutlery scissors.  The only scissors

that I had ever known of were the Marks that were listed in the

brochure and I once saw a large display in an old Western Auto

that had a place for the scissors but they were not there.

Sometimes the wealth of knowledge on this site is amazing.

I guess now I will have to pay attention to the other types of

cutlery at the flea markets and places I go.

Thank you for posting these photos, they mean I learned something

new today and that is always good.

Here is a poor scan of a Queen brochure that shows them selling

Marks brand scissors.  It is the only thing I have seen that shows this

and I do have a pair of Marks scissors somewhere.

Rome,

That real winterbottom is a treat to see.  I also believe there was a time when Queen made scissors but I have never been able to verify it

Comment by Rome D. Rushing on August 11, 2019 at 12:08

I also came across a set of Marks brand scissors that were marketed by if

not made by Queen.  I have a brochure that shows the scissors in a Queen

display along with kitchen knives and pocket knives.

Comment by Rome D. Rushing on August 10, 2019 at 22:42

Here are a few pictures of some Queen Steel knives that don't see much collecting or talking about.

This one has seen to much dishwasher time.

The Winterbottom bone delrin has faded .

This slicer has real Winterbottom Bone.
