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. Frank H. Van Cleve of Escanaba, Michigan shared patent rights on some of the early patents applied for by Webster L. Marble. 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.
