contract knife?

Post by jonet143 »

rescued this little (2 1/4" closed) gent's knife. on the bail is stamped MARATHON. on the pen blade is MARATHON inside a diamond.
marathon was a mark used by MARATHON RAZOR BLADE COMPANY(1923-1933) of irvington, n. j.
embossed plated metal handles (gold?).
does anyone know if marathon made knives or contracted them and to who?
