I just came across a couple of Lyman Cutt's Compensators in my "stuff" drawer.

One is a 20 ga with a spreader, IC, Mod, and (2) Full choke tubes, and a wrench.

The other is a 12 gauge and has a spreader tube.

Any idea what these are worth?

If they are that good, then those who like them can find one and have it fitted on. I doubt if all that many will do so.

First year production Ithaca 37R 20 ga. This one had the Deluxe Poly Choke when I got it. If I removed it, went with choke tubes, I think it would be too whippy, the Poly Choke adds some weight.

At first I didn't like it, but considered how popular they were in that era. It's grown on me and it's staying where it is. It is pretty handy. Vintage gun with vintage Poly Choke. They sorta go together.

Metal is original. Wood was pretty beat up, so I did some restoration on it. Barrel rust blued because of the soldered solid rib. When recutting the checkering, I discovered that the forearm was 18 lpi, the stock, 20 lpi. I had never seen that before. For M-37 fans, I recommend Walt Snyder's excellent book, "Ithaca Featherlight Repeaters...The Best Gun Going. A Complete History of the Ithaca Model 37 and the Model 87". Walt has the original factory records and is one of the top experts on these guns.

Thanks.

My only Poly Choke. But I like the gun a lot and the Poly Choke fits right in.

Yep, they go together like peanut butter and jelly and they are very handy. I wouldn't change it either. Nice gun !
