Thats pretty neat. I bought an old case stag trapper for $10.00 from a guy in Norman OK selling knives on the side of the streets so he could get into the OU game. Trapper was in very good condition and was made 65-69.

Tyson,

GREAT story. What a deal that was, so do you use it or did you put it up?

I don't use it, I put this one in my son's collection. When he get's older I will turn them over to him.

I found a Marble's #1 Safety Axe (the early 3-screw version) hanging on my Mother's wall. I kid you not !!!

There's pics on my iKC pg of this one .. http://www.iknifecollector.com/photo/albums/marbles-1-safety-pocket...

My maternal Grandfather had passed & my mother was his only child .. she had the un-enviable task of going through all his belongings & all that required schtuff ..

Well, she found this old hatchet of his .. he'd purchased it on his honeymoon (don't ask .. I don't know) .. anyway, Mom had no clue what it was .. other than unusual .. so she had made a little display & hung it next to one of my Dad's gun racks (he had also passed by this time) ..

So I hadn't been over to the farm in a couple months & needed to visit Mom .. and low & behold .. what do I see but an unused Marble's #1 Safety Axe hanging on the wall .. I'm like ...

MOM !!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS .. WHERE DID YOU GET THIS .. WOWZA MOM .. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS ????????

... a few months ago .. she gave it to me !!!!!

I seriously love my Mother !!!!!!!!

Oh, and it's destined for my daughter :)

DALE,

I have been away for a few days and just saw this. OMG, What a great stpry and one heck of nice AX. Write down everything you and your mom know about the story and make sure it goes with the Ax for your daughter. We so often lose the stories that go with these peices for the future generations
