This has turned into a terrific avalanche of Marble's photos and info. Some great looking stuff. My favorite Marbles's knife that I don't own is the Trailmaker. Now that was a butch knife. Hoping someday to come across a good one made pre-'90's. My best Marble's, a pre-WW2 6-inch Ideal, I lost while hunting more than 20 years ago. Still breaks my heart!
Thought everyone would enjoy some more Marbles artifacts. I want to give Ken (2Muchgun) a special "thank you" for all his efforts in posting these pics for me. He went above and beyond and is truly a first class individual. I want to note that all the knives also have their original sheaths.
Here is a Fieldcraft I bought right from Marbles in 1999. Had a 7pt buck in the truck when I pulled ito Marbles parking lot...
The hatchet is Marbles also.......
Great photo and even better collection of Marbles treasures (in all your other photos). I can only dream how much damage I could have caused being a Michigander within striking distance of the Marbles parking lot! I've been secretly repressing Yooper aspirations for years.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. --Winston Churchill
I have a very complete collection of the Stewart era Marbles knives. I have researched and collected these knives since 2000. If any one has any questions about the late Marbles knives feel free to contact me.
