That sort of safety/selector was similar to an earlier system used by Ithaca on higher grade guns. It worked well and was popular with them but I suspect was found confusing to the average user and finally dropped. They were double trigger guns and selected, I believe, automatic or manual safety reset.

Ithaca NID Models used selective single triggers, Miller triggers, like yours on any grade of gun, they later produced their own selective single triggers and it caused some controversy with Miller since it was very similar.
In Walt Snyder’s book (Ithaca From the Beginning), he writes that Ithaca requested that Miller not mark their triggers that were installed on Ithaca guns.

Most of the selective single triggers on NID Ithaca’s that I’ve observed use the safety as the selector, I myself prefer this over having to memorize the slide by the trigger or the rocker selector.
