Marbles woodcraft

Webster Marble formed Gladstone Mfg. Co. in 1892. That company created the first folding Axe in 1893 which lead to the incorporation of Marble's Safety Axe Co. in 1898. The company became Marble Arms & Mfg. Co. in 1911 & enjoyed years of success until succumbing to a shut down of production in 1974. The brand was brought back to life in 1994 & enjoyed a grand rejuvenation that later gave way to another shutdown in 2009. Many great knives & tools were crafted over the company's storied history.

Marbles woodcraft

Post by cooter303 »

I just got this old Marbles woodcraft. Was hoping to find out more about it. Like what year aprox it would have been made. Its in nice shape. Tight handle. Be nice to find a proper sheath for it though.

Nice example. Ari Dunathan says this stamping was used after 1916 until around 1925. Hope you can find a correct sheath. ::nod::đź‘Ť
