These early Ithaca’s are definitely interesting, like Dave said, engraving on later guns is not really comparable as to the detail,
and early models (Crass specifically) have considerably more engraving per grade.
I met an interesting fellow who had set up an Ithaca display at this years Baltimore gun show, just to display early Ithaca guns. I believe he may have had one Flues model, everything else was earlier. He put some time into it and the display was great.
