The No. 1 was in the NID period Ithaca catalogs from 1926 through 1934. From the large 1928 Ithaca Gun Co. catalog, sorry my scanner won't do their whole 14" pages --

The No. 1 was gone from the 1935 and onward Ithaca Gun Co. catalogs along with the cocking indicators. However, they did continue to make a few. My No. 1 28-gauge without cocking indicators shipped in late 1935 --

459536 01 NID No. 1 28-gauge.jpg

The bold floral engraving pattern was introduced during 1915 on the Flues No. 1 1/2 --

During 1919 Ithaca combined their No. 1 and No. 1 1/2 and the New No. 1 had the bold floral engraving.

I really like the engraving pattern for the Flues and NID. Much like the later Smith Ideal grade. I've not seen too many with that pattern on an NID.
