Report data errors or omissions to steward Ralph Brendler
Description:
This is a another enhancement to the Marden Patent of 1872 (125,823), which adds a second adjustable fence referencing a second point on the back of the arm. This second point is intended to mark the hinge depth.

These pieces are almost always mis-identified as Marden's Patent by dealers, and even one Chapin-Stevens catalog had both the Marden's and Thompson's gages identified as Marden's. This mistaken identity is so pervasive that you will often find Thompson's gage desribed as "Marden's Improved Patent".
