Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The classic Ithaca Model 37 pump-action shotgun's heritage traces back to the Remington Model 17 shotgun that was patented by John M. Browning in 1915. It's another example of Browning's genius.
Gun designer Harry Howland modified the Remington model's firing pin and ejection mechanism in 1931 for the Ithaca Gun Co., and Ithaca originally planned to bring out the gun as the Model 33 after Browning's patents expired in 1932, but an in-depth investigation into those patents discovered that the design also involved some patents held by John Pedersen (who is most famous for the Pedersen Device that converted Springfield Model 1903 bolt-action rifles into semiautomatics). Pedersen's patents were due to expire in 1936, so Ithaca waited until then and began producing the gun as the Ithaca Model 37. While I can't confirm it, the Ithaca Model 37 has been said to have "the longest production run for a pump-action shotgun in history."

As you can see in the many high resolution photos, this Ithaca is in good condition overall showing only the normal indications of regular consumer use or handling over the years that we can see.
