Company's advertisement

Marble Arms & Manufacturing Company of Gladstone, Michigan, is a company founded in 1892 for the invention and manufacture of the Marble Universal Rifle Sight by Webster L. Marble.[1] Frank H. Van Cleve of Escanaba, Michigan shared patent rights on some of the early patents applied for by Webster L. Marble.[2]  Products expanded to include outdoor goods like a novel safety axe, hunting knives, match safes, compasses and the Marble Game Getter combination gun. The company grew to be a foremost manufacturer of gun sights, competing with rivals such as Lyman, Redfield, Pacific, King, and Williams gun sight companies.[citation needed]  Still in business in Gladstone, Michigan, Marble Arms remains an important member of the firearm and shooting sports industry.
