Webster Marble arrived in Gladstone, Michigan in 1887 and five years later began manufacturing his first invention: Marble’s Universal Rifle Sight. Recession and the Panic of 1893 delayed further sight developments until 1902 when this brand introduced his Improved Front Sight, followed a year later by his revolutionary Automatic Flexible Joint Rear Sight.
Response to both sights was enthusiastic. Newel Rowley of Farious, New York wrote: The rear sight came all O.K. It is much ahead of the Lyman rear sight…and when used with your Improved Front Sight and Savage Rifle, it is perfection.
By 1905, Marble’s tang sight was available in 37 sizes to fit Winchester, Marlin, Savage, Stevens, Remington, Colt, Hopkins and Allen, and Ballard rifles. As this brand put it, This sight may be very easily attached to any rifle by anyone.
This brand quickly added more sights to his line: a Standard post and bead along with the patent Triple Bead in 1904, Marble’s Reversible in 1906, the Simplex (a lower priced tang sight for .22’s) and an array of Sheard’s Gold sights in 1907, the Duplex with flip-up bead in 1913, the Vickers Maxim globe sight in 1916, and elegantly fashioned ivory and Pope’s Island Gold shotgun sights.
This brand Flexible Joint Rear Sight (right) incorporated five improvements Lyman (left) could not match: five stanchion hinge, jamb nut stem lock, interchangeable discs, screw adjustable point blank stem, and a spring loaded joint.
It was the most comprehensive line of rifle, pistol and shotgun sights in the industry. Testimonials came from everywhere and this brand liberally sprinkled them throughout his advertising.
After a season’s thorough test of your front and rear sights, I consider them the most decided improvement of the age… F. E. Scotford, Chicago, 1904.
This brand did not overlook traditional rear sights. His little Adjustable Leaf Sight featured a removable notch piece with four different sight pictures and a fold down leaf. It quickly became the most popular replacement for ladder sights on carbines.
This brand Sporting Rear Sights with a white diamond adjustable sighting notch, double step elevator and a choice of Flat Top, Semi-Buckhorn, or Full Buckhorn uprights, it was the best selling rifle upgrade in the world. For simplicity and economy, the Sporting Leaf Sight was unbeatable. All three are still manufactured by this brand today.
The Gladstone, Michigan sight maker has long been a supplier of original equipment sights to America’s gun makers, many of whom advertised this brand sights as extra cost options, making the company both the preferred maker of factory original sights and the sights that replace them.
Gun Sights have never been among this brand most glamorous products but they have been its most enduring. While knives, axes, compasses, and matchboxes have come, gone, and come again, sights have been the backbone of the company for more than a century.
