I don’t know the values, but they are sweet!

 

What a great find, lucky you are. Not sure of the value but I would consider them priceless

 

Wow !

 

Very Nice Acquisition !!!
The knife with the bullseye is sweet!
I purchased this one 2 years ago at a local LGS for $125 - with the box and papers:

I also recently purchased 3 Marbles - Gladstones USA -non-Marlin knives - all NIB for $160 each in a package deal.
Two were Trailmaker models (more of a Bowie style) and one an Ideal .

I have seen USA made Marbles fixed blade hunting knife values run anywhere from $100-300 - new in box examples.
Some limited editions as high as $500 - but those are rare like the Marbles Club types.

Very nice. That's a great size and shape for general camp and field work.

 

Some beautiful blades with gorgeous stag and wood handles! Thanks for sharing them with us

 

Had know idea, very nice

 

Very nice... Thanks for sharing. I would imagine any Made in USA Marbles knives have a following, and a value, especially those, amongst us lever lovers. The new China ones not so much.

 

Most of the Marlin-Marbles knives don't get huge money. I see them NIB selling in the $50-$75 range. The Marlin Collector's Assn. knives get more money at around $125-$150, unless they are the limited edition one of 100 versions that were only sold to MFCAA members and came with a nice display case. Those can easily sell for $500, and I'd assume #1 or #100 would get premiums. I had #50 of the 100 and sold mine years ago before they became highly collectible.

 

@Jcrof16 - Sorry I missed this earlier. I see you just joined the MO Forum….

Welcome from the northern plains of central ND-Where the West begins!!

Thanks for your post.

A good source on “retail” knife values is the web site All About Pocket Knives. Covers all makers and styles.

 

Welcome to Marlinowners. I don't know what they are bringing right now. I have had a number of different ones through the years but have sold them all now. The best way to check and see what people are paying is watch ebay auctions.

 

Don't know when it was made, don't know what's worth. Stuck in a drawer and almost forgotten.

 

Those are cool knives! ! ! Here's it's Big Brother. . . I got lucky one day to stumble across this one. . .

Marbles Arms from Gladstone went out of business (sold out) in 1976. The Marbles name is now foreign owned with fixed blade knives made in Pakistan and folders primarily made in China. Pakistan made knives sale in the $25-$60 price range with most in the $30-$40 area. Original Marbles Arms knives date back to the beginning of the 20th century. These early knives can bring several thousand dollars depending on style and condition. Newer made knives bring less but are still desirable based again on style, condition, and origin.

Here is a dating method for knives made from 1997 through 2002. It's based on the color pattern of the spacers.

The OP's first two knives look to be 2002 production. The third knife 1999.

What you have shared is mostly correct. However, Marbles (or the company owning the Marbles brand) resumed manufacturing fixed blade knives in Gladstone MI from 1997 through 2010. At that time, all manufacturing went overseas.
The boxes I have are all clearly marked Made in Gladstone MI U.S.A. As does the paperwork in the boxes. Mine are 1999, 2001 & 2003
Thanks for posting the date chart. Could not find mine.
There are multiple sources to verify manufacture and The ability to date the knife is important.

 

Awww, now I want a Marlin knife too! 😢

 

Me too, i want one like @Timrekah1 s. So pretty....

 

The Marlin Firearms Collectors Assn. knives were offered to the members in 1995 at the 125th Anniversary of Marlin.

 

I'm not a collector but that's a good looking knife
