Strange series of stamps

The Queen Cutlery Company manufactured knives in Titusville Pennsylvania for 96 years. The company opened its only factory there in 1919 and commenced to make some of the best US crafted cutlery you will find. Unfortunately, the Titusville manufacturing plant closed down in 2018.

Is this knife a second or a mistake?

I agree. The knife has cosmetic flaws plus the fit of the covers and liners is poor. Likely a “cull” that was kept and used to test stamps and applying stamps. Likely someone bought it in the Queen bankruptcy auction.

If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.
