Found this What I believe to be a Marbles Ideal from 1940 to Late 1950 . It came out of a Military Auction with World War 2 Items. Take a look and see if I'm Right looks to be Dead Mint Sheath and Knife Still had the Sticker on the Handle ::ds::

I have a Woodcraft I got from Ryan through some horse trading with the same ricasso stamp and part of a sticker.

Wow, it is hard to believe something could go that long unused!!! We see a lot of 1970 and later knives that are untouched, but pre 1950 is pretty darn rare.

Thanks for the replies. This was another one in the batch of knives which is pretty good also not a Marbles. Jean Case all original looks to have Factory edge ::tu::

Very sweet twin set. ::tu::

Make sure you get all of that Verdigris off, it will cause pitting. ::nod::
