Ithaca Flues Model No. 4 10-ga #350977

[Researcher]

I recently scored some Ithaca letters on ebay I thought I'd share --











I had previously always equated the frame cracking issue with the very light weight Ithaca Flues Model small bores.

[OH Osthaus]

what a great exchange

and an very effective letter by the owner


thanks for posting that


i was under the impression that the frame cracking issue (also thought is was a small guage issue) was resolved by a change in 1920

and really- the comment that it saw 11 years of service - hey what more could you ask for after spending a measly $95
