I'd be very concered about the wall thickness on Mikeej99's gun around the forcing cones, as I doubt that light weight 1912 20-gauge left Fall Creek Waterpower Lot #6 with 2 3/4-inch chambers.
The No. 1 1/2 got the bold floral engraving in mid-1915 --

By the June 5, 1918, Ithaca catalog the No. 1 1/2 was no longer being offered with Damascus barrels.

In late 1919/early 1920 Ithaca thinned their line and the floral engraved gun became the New No. 1.

"The length of pole is 14 inches, minimum wall thickness was around .029” Chokes were improve cyl & lite mod."
