Ithaca Trap

[Researcher]

The Last No. 4E was 240405695 in late 1976 early 1977. From then to end of production the only offered the No. 5E and the Dollar Grades -- first $5000, the $6500 and finally with the Jimmy Carter inflation just Dollar Grade.

From some of my old catalogs --

1959-60 --

No. 4E $525
No. 5E $675
No. 7E $1750

Neither of the price lists with this catalog give Knick prices. My 1967 price list says "Custom Made, write for prices."

I suspect from here on they weren't actually accepting any orders. Just like Ithaca Gun Co., Inc. kept showing the NID in their catalogs to 1955 though the last they made were in 1948.
