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.

This is my newest ... don't know what the pattern is ... 5" blade / 9 3/8 overall ... think an earlier one in stag. Info requested ... thanks ahead of time!
Is that Stag or exceptionally nice Winterbottom Bone?
Well, either way, an extremely attractive knife and superb acquisition.

Looks like a Queen #95 pattern hunting knife. That tang stamp was used primarily from 1951-1954.
Thanks Carl for that info! Know what I have now. I am not up to snuff on Queen knives as I am others.

QT, I stand corrected ... Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! Did some more research, and I think it is Winterbottom Bone, not stag. I found this is on C. Risner, link below.

There has been some speculation that the ACSB Express is nearing the end of the line after having collected all available patterns. I can neither confirm nor deny such rumors as I really have no idea how many patterns Queen made with ACSB. All I can say for certain is that there are still patterns out there of which I am aware that have yet to climb aboard the ACSB train with one way tickets to the final destination directly into my ACSB collection station!
Here are the latest passengers to ride these rails:
#32 ACSB Congress
#73 ACSB Barehead
(Slimline Trapper & Small Toothpick, I'm gunning for you next; you can't hide from me forever!)

Might have to downgrade the ACSB Express to the ACSB Cattle Barge as it's closing in on two months since a new passenger boarded the train. But at long last this #19 Trapper decided to climb aboard and join the journey.
Q,
There must be a seat left on the barge for my favorite ACSB PH-D2 knife, the 4 1/4" (closed) Stockman. My memory of Queen pattern numbers has faded but I think 49 or 50. There's also a single blade Case 6165 size Folding Hunter in ACSB PH-D2. IIRC the single bladers had a different pattern number, maybe 39? Any way, the 154 CM blades in your Oregon club knives must have been special ordered. PH-D2 was standard in relatively recently made single and double blade ACSB Folding Hunters.
There's also a standard 4 1/8" size Wharncliffe Trapper that I think you'd like. I'm not sure they were ACSB but they definitly were brown jigged bone PH-D2 knives. Their blades were odd or distinctive. The Wharncliffe has the finest point I've ever seen on a Wharncliffe. It's paired with a long spey rather than a clip point.
Speaking of trappers, don't you have a Queen ACSB Mini-T you can add to this thread?

I believe the one you're referring to is this Sharp Fans 2009 club knife.

So glad you asked because not only do I have a Queen ACSB Mini-T to add to this thread, in fact, I have two ACSB Mini-Ts! Until just last week I actually had three ACSB Mini-Ts but apparently one of them felt that three was a crowd and decided to disembark from the ACSB train and take up residence with another AAPK member. Happy he found a new home, but he will be missed
Sharp-eyed observers will notice a difference in the clip blade spine profile and nail nick placement between the two Mini-Ts.

Can anyone help me identify this Queen letter opener.
Well, you're here now, you made it...better lat than never! Welcome to the party, Steve.
What exactly are you looking for as far as identification of your Queen letter opener? Although I can't tell you the pattern number, I'm pretty sure there's a member here who can.
If it's year of manufacture you want to know, based on this Queen tang stamp chart, your letter opener looks to have the Big "Q" stamp that was used approximately 1945-55
I have been posting more on the Remington forums my dad was a Remington collector first all kinds of knives second and some canes. Anyway I can identify the year through Sargent 6th edition. Yea I am wondering if anyone can give me a pattern # or tell me anything more about it. Just started looking have not seen anything like it yet.
Thank you very much
Steve
I know we have some AAPK members who are real Queen experts. Hopefully one of them will pass by this thread soon and give you the info you seek. I'm not familiar with letter openers but I would imagine the OAL would be an important piece of information for identification.

I think all that I have saw were built on the #21 knife pattern, usually during the 1950s. I've seen handles with Winterbottom Bone, Rodgers Bone, and imitation Pearl.
The ACSB Express picked up a Premium First Class passenger this week that was flown in all the way from the heartland of CONUS courtesy of knifeaddict1965 in order to be a part of this epic ACSB experience. Kevin, I can't thank you enough and you'll be pleased to know that Gunstock Jack has settled in very nicely with his extended ACSB family and brings an elevated elegance to the ACSB assemblage with the exceptional amber color resplendent in the carved stag bone covers. I love all my ACSB beauties but this one is a cut above IMO.
