Does anyone have any pictures of there old stamps. I have two older knives the stamps differ some. I could not find any info in any of my books.

Thanks

Stockman,

Please post a picture of your tang stamps.



M.B.

My digital camera is to blame for the poor shots ! but here is one of the 18MM that was my fathers. I think it is over 75 years old for he had it before I was born and I am past 70.

Here is the tang on a Marbles I traded off a year or so ago.
I don't know when it was made.

MB sorry that they are turned wrong. I flipped them but they went back.
Top two are same knife both sides. Bottom only marking on this knife.
as you can see there is alot of difference in the stamps.

Hi Dale:
Your old knife that now resides with me is a marbles maverick it has a woodcraft blade and it has it's own sheath with a stears horns on it. It was made more than likely in the early 60's. I found some docs. on it with photo if interested dated 1962.

I purchased a copy of the book The Encyclopedia of Marbles by Arni Dunathan it is a good book. I feel that my stag woodcraft is 1925 or maybe a little older.

That new Marbles book by Arni is a real good one
Anyone interested in Marbles knives and history
of em would do well to purchase the above book mentioned

How recent does the book go? Does it cover Stewart-era Marble's or just the old stuff?

Stag pommel Stockman?

Also, how long is the handle?

40's era Expert I rescued...

gmusic, It is a stag pommel and the handle is 3 3/4" long from top of guard to top
of pommel. Sorry about the lateness of the replay, I forgot.

I cannot tell by your pics, but if the A in Marble's
serif is facing to to the right, its 1940's to early 50's
That would be the middle line in the A that crosses it

They used the left facing serif A on knives in the
1911-1930 era
So, if it faces left,,
Its a old one and a real beauty at that !!!
