I've seen quite a few knives marked Marshall Wells that seemed to be manufactured by New York Knife Co. This one is a good example. Of course, this knife seems to have had some kind of repairs or modifications and so all of the parts might not be original to the knife.

I Agree with Msteel,

This knife had all the trademarks of the NYKC, However, there seems to to be many manipulations to this particular specimen that are obvious. Be careful if your looking for an original knife,

this one is NOT!!!! Bonehead

I had a Marshall Wells knife a few years ago and did a little research then. All the comments above are good. I just want to add that Marshall Wells was a Hardware store that contracted their knives. The tang stamp I had was Marshall Wells Hardware as well. There's a pretty good group of collectors of Marshall Wells Zenith. This auction should be interesting to watch.
Check out the add below. It is for sale on ebay now.
