Bill, Thanks! Yes I did ask about Eyler on the Ithaca forum as Walt gave me info that he was the consignee on my Ithaca Victory Grade Knick on 9/14/25. It must have been a backup for something else as it is virtally unfired. I was able to find reference to him and his son in a 1930 Baltimore city directory but nothing else. It came to me from North Carolina supposedly from a grandson of the original owner, who told the dealer I got it from that it had been under a bed or something for years. I don't have, and can't seem to get his name from the dealer, but then we all know how these storys go. Thanks again, Lee!!!
