Webster Marbles made these things for 35 years and more. There are a bunch of different models out there.
Not all are super valuable, except many people think they are, and then ask a price nobody is going to pay.
Mine was only ever a #2, even the day it was made. Even mint original it wasn't the most valuable.
Its currently about worthless on the collector market. Collectors what nothing but original.
Practically everything I make is worthless.
I like it and I'll keep it, especially since I can't sell it.
Along about 30 to 50 years after I am safely dead, I'll be known as an outsider artist or a folk artist and my stuff will gain in value 100 to 1000 fold overnight.
But only after I'm good and dead.
Same as Van Gogh and so many others. Who died in the gutter flat broke and starving,
and then 50 years later on the auction block at Southeby with rich people fighting over it tooth and nail.
This is the way it works.
Oh yeah Webster Marbles of Glastone Michigan himself, who made this hatchet and the best game calls and peep sights ever made, plus several dozen other really important items of outdoor gear?
Things still being copied today, because they were the best design ever conceived?
yeah he died broke too.
