pappy19 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/31/07 Posts: 7493 Loc: Garden Valley, Idaho	Please excuse my repeating this question, but I was wondering what years Randall used the dry white faced compass and was it made by Marbles? I know the black face was used in the 60's and 70's but know the white faced wasn't used but a few years. Thanks in advanced.

rodbrown Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/11/05 Posts: 2170 Loc: Ontario, Canada	Mike Looking at Sheldon's reference sheets the first white faced were used 1972-75. BLACK Marbles approx. 1975-83 Second white faced, that were similar to Marbles, but white faced, 1983-97. Black luminescent has been used since 1996. I do not know if the white faced were made by Marbles.

Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 13048 Loc: Central Florida	Well: According to "Pete's book" it was used in the 1990's. I "have" had many examples of white-faced compasses from the 90's. Not sure about any "others"...FWIW. Stay Sharp, Capt.
