Can anyone share any information about this knife? The markings read: MARBLE-SAFETY AXE CO-GLADSTONE-MICH U.S.A. Measures just over 10", the sheath is about 9". I just picked it up today and love the look and feel of it. I would like to know any information such as date of mfg., value and rarity if anybody can help. Thanks, Mike.
Mike, Nice collectable knife. I am not a Marble expert, but with this being handled in "Stag on Stag" it would be in the top of their line and I would estimate this knife & sheath dates to very early 1900's. As someone indicated Marbles started in 1898 in Michigan. By all means keep the sheath with this knife as I believe it is the original sheath that came with this knife from the factory.
