That's nice pic of grandpops. Thanks for posting Ole' Rancher. Ok, I was wrong about 1897 it's extremely ugly but very effective and efficient scatter gun. Using "Trenchie" instead of chainsaw, sledge and ax on my ole' picnic table isn't vandalism at all. You see, the Ithaca Trench gun is an effective tool and using it on that ole' weathered clunker was pure joy. What's wrong with turning labor into joyous activity?
