Looks like either a Colonial or Imperial.

I agree, Imperial or Colonial. Gamble Stores was a chain of variety stores in the Western US. They were in business in the 1970's...not sure what their status is now.
I have seen and/or owned a handful of pocket knives marked GAMBLE STORES in the past - but every one of them was the same pattern - a medium sized "cattle" knife - three blades including a punch blade. This is the first jack that I have seen.

Is the tang stamped "gamble stores"? Or how is it identified?

Looks Imperial to me, we had a Gambles store in York,Ne back in the 60's.
