Dating an older Marble's Fixed blade.
Anyone know the model # and maybe the approximate year of production for this old Marble's ?

You have a very worn Marbles "Woodcraft" and it is a rarer one made in 1915 with the patent pending mark. Yours is the only version with the cross hatch knurling on the spine of the blade, those made 1916 and on have milled grooves.

Nice stag on leather, GSP. Even though it's lost some of its belly there's still plenty of blade to get the job done. Any idea what caused that water mark? It seems to be uniform on both sides.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Thanks! I suspect that it was in a wet sheath and that caused the water mark. The leather has seen better days but for 107 years old it has held up pretty well.1967redrider wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 12:24 pm Nice stag on leather, GSP.
