Is this Marbles made in the USA

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.

I can't look at the tang stamp on this one. Is it possible to tell by the logo if this is a USA Marble's or imported?

I'm confused. You can't see it, it's not there, or you don't want to look at it?

Looks just like the one I have.
Mine is made in China.
It's a well made knife. What is the price of the knife you're showing?
If it's less than thirty dollars it's probably made in China.

It is an auction that just started and runs for another 13 days. Starting bid is $10. There are a couple of others with the same looking box and case. Not ebay.

Thanks for the info.

I'm sure i saw one of those last year on a retailers website, it had the same carry case. It was made in China, and if my memory serves me correctly, asking price was $25US.

Unfortunately, nope.

Try checking for this model on SMKW.com. I think they carry this line.

Excellent advice! I see knives (and other stuff) sell on eBay for prices higher than the same identical item can be bought for elsewhere. Sometimes even from another seller on eBay. ::facepalm::

Back in the good ole days of ebay, late 90's, I'd regularly see an auction described wrong or poorly, or in the wrong category, and I'd buy it and turn around and list it again and make money. They didn't have the listing tools then and the search engine wasn't as optimized. You had to know your own HTML code.
