Stan, the s/n is 4574xx. Slow sales during the Great Depression and with Ithaca doing serials in "blocks" for the special Vent Rib high top frames, I'm thinking she left the factory much later than might be indicated just by the serial number. She doesn't have cocking indicator pins and the Trap beavertail f/e is the newer "long style". Possibly shipment in the mid to late 1930's. My Cody membership has expired and if I renew it I'll get an Ithaca records readout.

Ah,
I was typing without looking, sorry about that.

The grade 3 you acquired a few years prior was an earlier NID if I remember correctly, indicators and short BT, also with double triggers?

[Cold Spring]

Good memory Stan. I had a Number/Grade 3E Double Trap NID s/n 4337xx with the earlier shorter beavertail f/e, 32", Vent Rib and double triggers. It had a conventional high trap comb and 14" LOP over its Ithaca pad. Also cocking indicators. Stock comb a little too high and LOP a little short for me to shoot sporting and I didn't want to modify an all original gun ..... traded off. Just to elaborate on how Ithaca did blocks of serials for higher grade and special guns, along with the effect of the Great Depression on its sales, the Cody readout shows: Proofed for factory stock in February 1928 and shipped to customer in November 1936. Tough times and tight money.

Thank you kindly ! However the genteel souls from the south would prefer Lynyrd Skynyrd and 38 Special

[Mike of the Mountain]

I can do any Skynyrd but Free Bird. I can throw in The Allman Bros, Blackfoot and some Black Crows too for good measure.

[Double Lab]

Throw in some Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton and then you'll be hitting on all 8 cylinders.

The last get polluted drunk concert I attended was an open air deal at the fairgrounds in Fredricksburg VA . Blackfoot and the Outlaws played lead off for Molley Hatchet , the Pagans were in force there all sporting colors .

I will find some sweet things for dessert, and plastic utensils, paper plates & napkins. Maybe I can entice the misses to even bake something, but don't hold your breath

Keavin, I had previously replied/posted that I would bring the plates, utensils, napkins, etc. But as you want to I am graciously stepping down. Many thanks
