Produced between 1925 and 1934, the Auto & Burglar Gun was pitched as just the thing for a homeowner or traveler to keep strapped to their nightstand or steering column to ward off burglars or bandits, while finding an audience with the private security forces of the day as well. Fitted with a single brass bead sight, with a solid rib between the "SMOKELESS POWDER STEEL" and "MADE IN U.S.A." marked barrels, and both sides of the frame decorated with a pointer in a field over the "AUTO & BURGLAR GUN/ITHACA GUN CO. ITHACA, N.Y." markings. Checkered forearm and pistol grip stock, with the latter showing a very sharp angle and pronounced web knuckle for recoil management.

Very fine, with 80% of the original blue finish, showing some light spotting and handling marks overall. Bright and vivid case colors are present on the frame. The trigger guard and break lever show evidence of reshaping, possibly being replacement parts taken from a standard Ithaca, and a trigger guard screw is absent. Stock is fine, with some light dents. Mechanically excellent. NOTE: This is a smoothbore pistol, an "Any Other Weapon" as defined by the National Firearms Act and registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in accordance with said law. It is the sole duty of the successful bidder to comply with the National Firearms Act and any other relevant Federal, State or local laws that affect their place of residence.
