Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

I am a novice so please be patient with me.  I have a MSA Gladstone Mich hunting knife of which I know very little.  In what I have read I think this might possibly be an early first generation Marbles knife.  It is 9 1/2 inches overall with a 5 1/2 blade, and has a full stag handle.  I"ve been unable to locate one like it on the internet.  I'm wondering how old this knife is and is the handle original or a replacement?

Thanks

I thank you both Jan and Dale for this great information.  I guess I have and Ideal knife mfg between 1904-1918.  That is great as I plan to display it with an old percussion North Carolina rifle.  Thank you for your efforts.

Thanks Jan .. for narrowing the stamping date down to those yrs ..&.. link to book. Yes, it does look like a good resource for the serious Marble's collector.

Every Ideal, Canoe, Trailmaker,Deweese, Safety Folders  ,axes  ,compass ,gamegetter , match safes,oil cans,shell extractors,sheaths,calls,fish gafs  and on and on with dates and configurations.
