I've been using the same Marshalltown for about ten years and it doesn't seem to have worn down appreciably. In fact the WHS that I used for the same period is now teaspoon sized and now that I'm a chairbound fat-cat, it looks spiffing in the back pocket of my pin-striped suit on site visits.
By the way, I also note that even modern Marshalltows sport some kind of cr*ppy plastic handle these days. I think that my WHSs must be of an earlier vintage than mst, as the handles have never come off (ferrules rattle like hell though ).
