Ithaca Serial #0008

[Ken Hobday]

Digging around in the corner of the gun room I stumbled across what I thought was a new baker , But turns out it’s actually hand stamped “Ithaca gun co” although very crudely done and in different positions on each side of the receiver
Doing what research I could seeing how Ithaca information leaves allot to be desired I would say this was a Baker - Ithaca when Ithaca Gun Company started does this make sense ?
Also are there any records around for the company that can be searched ?

So how much value would a low serial number add to a shotgun ?

This double is a ten gauge 32 inch barrels heavier then sin and has the most drop on the stock that I have ever seen. Locks up very tight and bores are very nice not quite mirror but close, shoots pretty good but you have to shoulder it low and keep head high off stock to even look down the barrels

If any interest I can post pictures
