1940's Marble's

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.

1940's Marble's

Post by ta50gear »

A collector roughly dated these two knives to the 40's. The first is an Ideal and the second looks a lot like a Girl Scout design but I wouldn't swear to it.
