Re: My newest Queen
Thanks guys. I appreciate the comments.
This little yella fella showed up at my door recently looking for a loving home despite hairline rocker pin crack (on both sides). Of course I took him in. These early 1990s Queen Mini Trappers have the snappiest gator snap ever.

Re: My newest Queen
Man Q, that one is new to me. I like it a lot (shield, yeller handles, tang stamp, blade etch, croc'o snap; it has everything).
Queens that have a slight defect, i.e. your pin crack, are probably the deal of the century. I've dealt in enough of em' too know .
I'm putting one on my "Snag List", me ole yeller 8 dot needs a pal.

Re: My newest Queen
Although I prefer genuine Winterbottom bone, I can tolerate the Winterbottom Delrin as long as it's on a #51 (and in relatively new/unused condition).
Lucked into this pristine 1976 Queen #51 Winterbottom Delrin Mini Trapper. Love the pen blade. Both blades have super snappy snap...the way Queen made knives back then.

Re: My newest Queen
Great little Queen.
Had to look it up, bighomer. #2 is a serpentine jack 3.25". For some reason a 1979 knife doesn't seem that old but, that was 41 years ago.

Re: My newest Queen
I posted this pair of Queen Steel on the "Pairs" thread. Thought some Queen collectors might like them. They're very pocket-worn white bone.

Re: My newest Queen
Very cool knives...me likee vely mulch. But. I gotta ask...Are you sure about the covers? Looks more like pocket worn stag to me.

Re: My newest Queen
Ridgegrass, I love those 2 knives!
What pattern # are those Queens? I would guess the single blade is a #11 but what about the one with the broken blade?
Q, if some one had asked me to identify the handle material, I would have thought real Winterbottom bone. I have one #11 E Z open with Winterbottom bone and the jigging grooves are much closer to each other, I can see where those could possibly stag handles.
Always something to learn here on AAPK.

Re: My newest Queen
I think I must have my "stag goggles" on...if it looks at all close, I always want it to be stag...whether or not it actually is...but the fact that the PWWB looks at all close to Pocket Worn Stag is very cool...I like thattreefarmer wrote: ↑Thu Dec 17, 2020 2:59 am Q, if some one had asked me to identify the handle material, I would have thought real Winterbottom bone.

Re: My newest Queen
Let me say this knife is not my newest Queen but to show some of Queen's great stag, I am presenting this #52 as an example:

Hi treefarmer.... The one with the broken blade is a #24 slim trapper. I do believe the handles are Winterbottom bone.

Re: My newest Queen
I agree. When I wrote the "WWW" I originally meant "Well Worn Winterbottom", but it doesn't look quite like the very black and white of the newer pieces.
I'm sure it's old, worn Winterbottom. Thanks all, They're nice old knives, wish the two blade were not snapped. J.O'.

Re: My newest Queen
Ridgegrass, here are 4 Queens, all the same frame. 3 of them are #49 Large stockman patterns, the other is #52, same frame but a two blade Moose. You can see the differences in the real Winterbottom handle and the imitation Winterbottom and of course the "Well Worn Winterbottom" that you described. The 3 #49's all have the 1958-1960 tang stamp. TreefarmerRidgegrass wrote: ↑Thu Dec 17, 2020 9:47 pm I agree.

They're great. I like Queen knives, especially the old ones. J.O'.
Re: My newest Queen
I REALLY like the last two...Great Scores on both of them!!
Curious about your assessment of the "new Queen" Trapper. Hopefully, it's better than the black Mini Trapper that was released earlier

Re: My newest Queen
Bighomer...
That barehead #10 jack is a rare knife.
Here's some text I received from Robert Welch (he got it from David Clark) from an email back in November of 2019.
"I've seen some factory records from the WWII years that indicate Queen City made 12,784 doz. #10 pattern with rough black handles with the end cap bolsters and 1,062 doz. barehead in 1944. This record was in one of the books Dan bought at the (Queen) auction."
That makes 12,744 barehead jacks made in 1944.

Re: My newest Queen
Bruno I saw that you had one for sale and when I got a chance to bid on this one I did, didn't figure I get it as he was saying how rare it was. It's got a small amount of play on the main, none on the pen, just the opposite of yours. Snaps are great on both blades. I'm pleased with it. Great hok in mho.
