Great finds , looks like we both picked up the same Queens trapper

Dang dog that almost looks like a "Scott haul" loving them Queens. Nice haul Paul if that Gerber is like mine be careful deploying the pliers it will bite you.

As they say "Great minds find the same stuff" or something like that... ... I really like the scales on your Queen, a very nice contrast between the dark and light shades.

They both should both have been made by Queen, in their factory at 507 Chestnut St, Titusville, PA. My knife is stamped '81 on the tang (1981) and yours was most likely made before 2018 (and not a recent one made in China). In 2018, having produced high quality cutlery using traditional methods for 96 years, Queen Cutlery closed its doors for good. Queen also made knives for other companies such as Ontario and Moore Maker.

Thanks for the info mate

Had one grandson with me today and we found these at the flea market.

Great bunch Scott. Did the Grandson lay claim to any of them?

Oh I also found a knife today. I'm sure it is rare and sought after. Ebay here I come.

Scott, Who made the wood-handled Wharncliffe?

Scott, how do you do it ? I go to flea markets and never find anything worth buying.

I think that one has opportunities to be cleaned up.

I don't know how practical it is in real use, but a lot of knife makers are using a Lexan-like stuff called Ultem that's supposedly pretty tough for being translucent yellow. I'd just slap some scrap wood from my cutoff bin, which is my plan for a couple of shell handles that lost the shell part. Heck, the one I'm doing it to is a doppelganger of yours.

Hot dog, I found one.
Looks like this would be a good rafting knife.

Enjoy your knife redrider. Or should I say relish your knife. Condiments, I mean complements on your new knife.
