Vintage stag handle-Trademark stamp unclear

Post by TeddyTeddy+1 »

I've got an inherited knife with a trademark/manufacturer logo which was poorly/partially struck. Pretty sure it isn't a Case because I have a Case of similar size and timeframe (1940s to 1960s). Maybe someone can help identify the mark from photos.

Looks like a Queen 1950 or before knife. A little worn but not a bad example. Winterbottom handles.

Nice knife. I agree with Rob’s assessment above.

The handle material is bone. The pattern of the jigging is "Winter bottom". Queen used mostly that jigging, while few other manufacturers did. So, if you see a knife with similar handles to yours, it's a pretty safe bet that it's a Queen.

check out page 6 of this Queen tang stamp guide, which helps narrow it down to when it was made.
