1958-1960 Queen Steel #24 Trapper SlimLine



Thanks

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say I bet treefarmer could give you a ballpark figure...Unless I miss my guess, that model is right in his wheelhouse.

KimboHeslep, Welcome to AAPK.
I can't help you with a value of your fine Queen knife but I can say it appears to be in very fine condition. The Winterbottom bone handles are especially nice. I would be thrilled to run across one in that condition. If someone offered me a similar knife for $50, I would be tempted as I have several knives with the same era tang stamp ('58-'60). The 2 knives on my avatar are both #49's with the 58-60 stamp. One is almost mint, the other well used.
Some of the more knowledgeable knifers suggest searching through Ebay completed sales to determine what the value of a particular knife may be.

I am not a Queen or Trapper collector but i would give more than $50 for that knife. If it was an ebay auction i would bid about $80 and not be surprised if i was outbid by someone whose collection 'needed' the knife.

2 sold on ebay for just shy of $30.00 recently.

Scott were the 2 that sold for $30 in similar top condition as O.P. knife ?
I have seen what seems to be increasing prices for Queen knives since this company closed down.

I'm like....why the heck didn't your listing come up when I searched it? I know why now....I used the word, the mnost important word when searching for any knife......KNIFE. It's not in your title

Ha sorry about that, I wanted to put as much info in the title that I could...

Don't apologize to me .....I'm not a buyer....it's the buyers who may never see your listing that you have to be concerned with...

Change the title to include "knife" or else cancel and re-list. As Scott says, without 'knife' in listing title maybe 90% of potential bidders will not see the knife.

Well it’s in the collectibles and knife section and it is pocket knife under the listing type but I haven’t tried to ask anyone to find it just by looking at “knives.”
