I found this chart on the forum. So, is my knife the earliest stamp dating from 1922 to 1932?

The chart supports your conclusion. However, someone with real expertise will come along and perhaps shed more light on your striking acquisition.

I can't seem to find an example of this knife during my online research.

Ferguson refers to it as pattern 088 in her book "Romance of Collecting Cattaraugus, Robeson, Russell, Queen knives."

That is a nice knife. I love the old iron knives.

Nice knife 
... given the handles and length I would say it was Queen's version of a Boys Knife - very cool!
