Need help dating

Webster Marble formed Gladstone Mfg. Co. in 1892. That company created the first folding Axe in 1893 which lead to the incorporation of Marble's Safety Axe Co. in 1898. The company became Marble Arms & Mfg. Co. in 1911 & enjoyed years of success until succumbing to a shut down of production in 1974. The brand was brought back to life in 1994 & enjoyed a grand rejuvenation that later gave way to another shutdown in 2009. Many great knives & tools were crafted over the company's storied history.

Your knife likey dates around or slightly before WWII. The sheath is not original to the knife and the blade tip has been slightly modified. Still a nice looking Marble's Ideal knife.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
