On a 1914 vintage gun like this, a Silvers would be the best bet. Jostam was founded in 1914, but their early pads deteriorated pretty badly. The later Jostam pads have their later patent dates on them. Hawkins and No-Shoc came along in the mid-twenties. The Ithaca "bridge trestle" pad wasn't introduced until 1931-2 Ithaca Gun Co. paper.
