I'm old enough to remember when the Ithaca 37 was the premier pump shotgun to have, along with the Winchester Model 12.
Before the days of rifled barrels on shotguns, if you wanted an accurate shotgun to hunt deer with slugs, there was the Ithaca - and a bunch of other stuff that wasn't as accurate.
Sadly, Ithaca has gone through several cycles of bankruptcy and reconstitution. I don't know where they are now, if they are at all.
The Model 37 is a John Browning design, from before 'cheap to manufacture' was a vital factor.
