Remarkably, the Ithaca NID Skeet Special was advertised in the July 1926 National Sportsman, only two months after the game was named! Was the Ithaca Gun Co. tipped off in advance of the announcement in order to accelerate production of a designated skeet gun?

Interesting that they did such an ad. An actual Ithaca Skeet Gun doesn't appear in any Ithaca Gun Co. catalog or price list that I have until Catalogue No. 54, 1935.

Ithaca price lists don't begin separately pricing the Skeet Guns until 1937 --

For 1935 and 6 I guess you just had to add up the price of the options.
Similarly in 1935, they added a Skeet Gun to their Lefever line --
