Miracle and Marathon

The lever end has a wreath imprint similar to that found on an Eclipse or Morrison (but without the LM designation) The clip is imprinted Miracle. The nib was damaged and replaced by Ron Zorn, so there's no guidance to be found there. And dammit, I didn't keep notes on the imprint.
This is imprinted Marathon on the clip with the barrel having the additional model designation, "Student".
Any insights?

Have an old fountain pen that needs restored or a newer one that needs some TLC? We provide quality restoration and nib work so your pens can glide across the page as gracefully as the best Waltz dancers.

I am not familiar with Miracle, but I do not believe this particular Marathon is an Eclipse sub brand. It is somehow related to Morrison and Morton. I don't have my notes with as to the name of the Company that produced these brands, among others, but it was not Eclipse. See threads on various boards related to Morrison, Morton, Marathon etc....

Thanks Phil. I'm leaning in your direction. Will snoop around.
ticoun, the Marxton's I've seen just have the name in a Helvetica-ish font on the clip. Early on Eclipse used a logo in the shape of a football with vertical lines in it. These have no markings like that.
Thanks Linda. Glad you like them.
