Marble Arms & Manufacturing Company, established in 1892 in Gladstone, Michigan by Webster L. Marble, originated with the creation and production of the Marble Universal Rifle Sight. Early patents for some of these innovations were co-held by Frank H. Van Cleve from Escanaba, Michigan. The company broadened its product range to encompass outdoor equipment including a distinctive safety axe, hunting knives, match safes, compasses, as well as the Marble Game Getter combination gun. Marble Arms grew to become a prominent producer of firearm sights, rivaling firms such as Lyman, Redfield, Pacific, King, and Williams. Today, the company continues its operations in Gladstone, Michigan, maintaining a significant role within the firearms and shooting sports sectors.
