Marlin Firearms is celebrating the 150th anniversary of its iconic firearms brand by releasing special editions of their classic Model 60 .22LR rifle as well as their 444 Marlin lever-action rifle. They are releasing matching ammunition for the commemorative rifles – a first for the Marlin Firearms Company. These New 150th Anniversary Marlin Commemorative Rifles should be a treat for long time fans of Marlin Firearms.
New 150th Anniversary Marlin Commemorative Rifles and Ammo
Marlin Firearms was founded in 1870 and has produced firearms for civilians, lawmen, and the military. In WWI Marlin became one of the largest machine gun producers in the United States and its allies. Many of its M1895 Colt-Browning Machine guns were mounted on early fighter planes.
Marlin is perhaps most famous these days for producing classic lever-action like its venerated Marlin 1881 lever-action rifle – one of the earliest large-caliber lever-action rifles. Some may also still own the Model 60 as it was a popular alternative to the Ruger 10/22 for rimfire rifles.

Not sure you can claim a 150 year anniversary after becoming just a brand name vs the actual company that made them, but sure whatever. Henery has an anniversary edition for EVERYTHING.
