I found an old butt plate, covered in white 'dust' in my Dad's old gun box. The design is worn, not sharp or crisp, but clearly there. There are an old Ithaca and an old Winchester butt plate in there. These are likely 50+ years old.
I don't know if these have any value, maybe to someone restoring an older gun, but they were probably off side-by-sides he had re-stocked since that's all he ever owned. If there is any interest, you folks can decide if they have any value. If they do, we'll put a small price on them in the form of a donation to the forum and post them in the classifieds.

Probably not much value here. Good ebay items!

Nice gesture, Bruce! Sure, put'em on the for sale forum and ignore the insults that will surely follow. Somebody on here will have a real need for those butt plates. Thanks...Geo

Apparently they have no value to anybody. I'll put them back in the old gun box and check back in another 50 years... If anybody trips over this thread at some date in the future and want one (or both) for the cost of postage, email me.

Bruce,
I believe that Ithaca buttplate is for a Crass or Lewis around the turn of the century or may even be late 1800's. I have a 1892 Crass with a buttplate similar or same as that.

Tried to email you, said you weren't accepting private messages. I'm interested in the butt plates. Send me a PM and we'll figure it out.
