Marbles made for Bowie

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.

Just pick up this beautiful gem. I don't know much about them but I love the pocket knives made by marbles so grabbed this. Anyone know some history?

Looks like an early 2000's Gladstone, MI made Limited Edition Expert, maybe in Tigerwood? Nice find! ::tu::
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!
