[OLD GAR]

7 inch Marbles. Vintage '30s

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.

Top two are same knife both sides. Bottom only marking on this knife.

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 steers 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.

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

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 !!!

anybody know year/era this Trailmaker?
thnx in advance and HET upon ya

[moveapiano]

I have yet to see one with this stamp, with this handle coloration, or with this sheath print. Anyone wih an idea on the year?

[stagman]

Hey Blister, tell ya about your Trailmaker if in ya tell me what your.. HET.. means ???
Yours looks like a 1940-mid 1950's, stamp is wore, looks like the loop in the A is facing right.... I am betting 1940's tho with the original sheath you have with it...very nice and on the pricey side as well

moveapiano...yours is a 1966-74 Campcraft model, 3 line, no USA in stamp
cannot see in pic but the pommel should have a pin in it
came with the well known Moose & Goose sheath
