Queen Hawkbill

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.

Saw a Queen Hawkbill today while I was out and about. It had wood handles. Anyone have a ballpark on the date?? Don't have any pics. Knife is not mine.

Thanks Gino, I'll have to try and get another good look at it soon.

However, it isn't as nice as the one that you are displaying.

Did acquire the Hawkbill, never got around to posting pics. Just now trying to catch up on some stuff. Any help on dating this knife or giving me any information would be greatly appreciated.

Magoo, That one appears to be in the 1958-1960 time line. It's pretty clear in the Queen tang stamp chart.
