Product Description
The products of Gladstone, Michigans famed Marble Safety Axe Co. and Marble Arms & Manufacturing Co., better known by the Marbles trademark, have always enjoyed a special place in the realm of sporting collectibles, not to mention the hearts of sportsmen. Marbles fixed blade knives were actively sought out long before other hunting knives were deemed worthy of collecting, the safety axes treasured by those who wouldnt cross the aisle to look at any other kind, and the folding knives... well, that goes without saying. Todays Marbles collectors are as knowledgeable and devoted and serious as those who pursue the very best in Case knives, Remington Bullet knives, or antique bowie knives. Collecting Marbles items has always been somewhat of a challenge, however. Unlike the fields mentioned above, most of the information published on the subject is difficult to locate particularly the books by Schreier and Schmeling, and past articles in Knife World. Other information useful to collectors had never before been published, the terminology often had to be learned from other collectors, and many rarities had never even been illustrated before. But with the recent publication of The Encyclopedia of Marbles Knives & Sporting Collectibles, author Arni Dunathan has finally delivered to collectors the guide that has long been needed. Loaded with full color photos on almost every page, the book begins with an overview of The Marble Story before diving right into the heart of the material. Each of the chapters that follow focus on a particular area of Marbles collectibles: Marble Axes; Webster Marbles Ideal Hunting Knife; Webster Marbles Other Belt Knives; Marble Arms Belt Knives; Folding Knives and Tools; Fish Knives, Gaffs and Creels; Sheaths; Compasses, Match Boxes, Gift Sets and Game Calls; Firearms and Accessories; and Advertising. Concluding the book is a chapter on Marbles in the New Century, and appendices on Marks and Grading
