Jack O'Connor contributed to the misinformation that Ithacas were less expensive than the other "classic" American doubles.


Back in the pre-WW-I days the Fox Sterlingworth, the K-Grade Remington, the DS-Grade Lefever and the 00-Grade L.C. Smith all had a net selling price of $25. The Field Grade Ithaca had a net sellng price of $18 and the Baker Black Beauty had a price of $19.85. Meanwhile the Parker Bros. Trojan sold for $27.50.
