flea market find
« on: March 28, 2010, 08:37:44 pm »
 I really like hatchets and tomahawks. I think if given a choice in a survival situation I'd rather have one than a knife. Anyway, I came across this beauty at the Flea Market this morning.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Nice find, looks like it was hardly used. I can't read the writing on it was it made in the US?

Those Marbles are nice. I have one and I like it a lot. I believe they are made in MI.

Gladstone Michigan is where all of the Good Quality Marbles Knives were made...Webster Marbles was known as the Inventor of the Modern Hunting Knife...and His Hatchets made Him Famous.....

Ya Marble Arms is in Gladstone, MI 40 miles from me, find an old one of them eddie for $6 and you have something.
Thats a modern version, their not bad but the steel isn't the greatest at least not like the their originals. All old Marbles
stuff is very collectable, the knives, axes, sights, match cases and pin-on compasses.

The Marble's knife company is going through a Bankruptcy.

In the March 2010 Smokey Mountain Knife works there are single bit #5 and #9 GOLD edition axes.
The price is not bad IF they are made of good steel????  I wonder if they are just for looks...
They both come with a presentation box.
