Old guns have an it factor that can't be matched today. That old Ithaca has it.

It doesn't get a whole lot better than that!

I let one get away a few years ago.
Foolish man.

Great shotgun and a John Browning design ,which Remington made and was the Model -17. When the patents ended Ithaca begin making them and Called them the M-37. Remington only made them in 20ga, but Ithaca made the design in 12ga and 16 ga. as well as the 20ga. I hunted many grouse ,deer and turkey ,rabbits with the M37 as well as the Remington M-17. Great shotguns.

Beauty!
My favorite pump gun and my favorite era and wood configuration at that.
I have a 16ga just like it.

Old guns made of wood and blue steel are just so much classier than anything modern. Nobody will ever post a picture of a plastic M&P in 2080 and say “made in America by Americans in 2020” and get the response this thread has.

I bought a Model 37 20 gauge new about fifty years ago. I'm not much of a shotgun enthusiast, but this one would likely be the last to go. I've also had some limited experience with the matte-finished short-barreled 12 ga. 37s. All good guns.

Marshal Tom · Jun 24, 2023

Thats a beauty. I've always loved the 37's. I would love to have one of the 12ga. riot guns.

I have a 12 gauge Ithaca 37 from way back. I thought that it was svelte, but I must say that 20 gauge drips elegance. I can just imagine how relatively quiet it is with light field loads and how easy carrying it must be. I don't think there is anything made today that even comes close in any category.

H Richard · Jun 24, 2023

WOW, that gun is as old as I am, and in a whole lot better shape.

Although the Ithaca Gun Company made excellent Model 37’s for decades, Ithaca collectors are especially fond of the pre-war guns (1937-1941). The stock of a pre-war 37 is recognized by the checkering that comes to a point behind the neck of the stock.

Gorgeous! I've always wanted an Ithaca Model 37, but could never find one that I liked at a price that I was comfortable spending.

Rudi · Jun 24, 2023

WOW! Looks like it was bought and then just put away. Sweet.

Nice gun in great condition and yes, made in a good era. Bet it’s nice and light, would make a good hunting gun for us older folks. Larry

Your shotgun makes a complete mockery of the new age plastic and pot metal guns of today. Shotguns like yours puts a touch of class again to the shooting world. No pot metal, MIM or stamped tin or plastic parts. Pure elegance. Congratulations and thanks for letting us relive a by gone era.

mrchick · Jun 25, 2023

Beautiful example. I have on in 12ga and one in 20. They are my favorite pump guns.

Awesome! That gun screams quality. Love the bluing and wood to metal fit. Great craftsmanship back then. pleasure to see.
