Yepper...most impressive indeed !!! You do not come up with that group overnite,
thats for sure....
Them big 7 & 8 inch Ideal's are something when ya hold them in your hand, huh Wayne !!!
That one Ideal tword the bottom left, 4 pin Stag, smooth handle...when they 1st came out
with the Ideal, they smoothed a lot of the Stag bark off of them to give em more of a Ivory look,
I have noticed at shows and auctions I been too over the yrs, them that look like that always brought
in the highest selling price even versus a Stag handle with lots of character...
Thanks for sharing a bit of history with all of us !!!

Wayne, what a magnificent gathering! Good show!

. I only have two Marbles, and the 7" Ideal does not have a sheath. Some wonderful sheaths in your presentation.

I think if you own 2 of those knives it's impressive. But that collection is mind blowing. Thanks for showing us Wayne

Thanks all for the kind comments. I have been a fan of the old Marble's knives for some time. I've let some go that I may never be able to replace but so it goes with knife collecting. I wish I at least had some pictures of some of the more prized knives I have let go in the past.

One of many reasons I am thankful for AAPK for is that I have taken pictures of many of my knives to share with others here. I also have a good photo record of these knives for my personal reference.

Here are some more original Marbles Ideal pattern knives with a range of 4 1/2' to 8" blades. Various times of production.

Wayne you obviously have a splendid collection. Congratulations, well done!

Old Folder · Post by **Old Folder** » Sat Mar 24, 2018 4:31 pm

That's the most wonderful "Marbles" collection I have ever seen.
Actually, not a collection, Museum would be a better description. Excellent!!!
Thanks for sharing Wayne.

Gunsil · Post by **Gunsil** » Sun Mar 25, 2018 1:29 pm

More nice ones Wayne!! I know what you mean about not having photos of ones that you let go. A couple years ago I sold my ivory/ivory Woodcraft at Parker's show and never got a photo of it and it was the only one many advanced Marbles collectors had ever seen. I got a pocket full of cash for it but the buyer barely got ten feet from my table and I regretted selling it.

You have an excellent collection, Sir.
