Back in the day, the Model 21 Skeet

That early 1940s world-wide unpleasantness brought Skeet to the working man.
Winchester never catalogued a Model 21 Skeet

By 1936, the Tournament Grade was dropped from the Model 21 offerings and the Model 21 Skeet Gun was then offered in Standard, Trap and Custom Built Grades. From the 1936 Winchester catalogue --
