ITHACA FLUES

Built in 1919, and still better looking than most things made last year.

The Flues was Ithaca’s slim, lightweight boxlock double, built from 1908 until the NID replaced it in 1926. This 20 gauge dates to 1919 and has come through the century in great shape, the kind of condition that makes collectors slow down and bird hunters start thinking about October. Trim between the hands, handsome on the rack, and a real piece of American shotgun history.

Proof they really did build them better in 1919.
