Sweep, No offense taken. It is a common misspelling. As Eightbore mentioned, the 1900 company catalog has the misspelled word on its second page.(Think 1900, a year either way) Must not have had proof readers back then. Anyway, I am just trying to help get it right. The company was named after the city of its origin, Ithaca New York.
The gun you describe sounds correct in every way. Should this gun become your first Ithaca, congratulations!
That gun is listed as a 16 gauge Field grade with 28 inch barrels. Shipped in 1928.
