The age of an Ithaca can easily be determined from the serial number. What is it?
You should be able to find out what year it was made. There were certain "blocks" of serial numbers reserved for certain models - i.e., 37S, 37T, 37R - up until 1953
1980 serial number 371671001 - 371690000 now thats year for the M37 all models including deerslayer. You can do some research and find out exact model and value
There's a list of serial numbers by year at http://ithacagunrepair.com/page5/page23/
The Blue Book says $200 - $220 for a 16 gauge with 80-90% original finish.

The M37 was mge in 1949. Value depends on the condition and gauge, as a 20 would be worth more than a 12.
The M37 is manufactured by Infiniti. The M37 is a four-door, mid-sized, luxury sedan. The base price for a new one (2013 model) starts around $48,000.
While it is possible to change the safety configuration on the M37 to make it easier to use for the left-handed, it is not a matter of simply reversing the existing safety. The right-hand safety must be removed from the trigger group and replaced with a left-hand safety, which is available from the Ithaca factory. The cost for the left-hand safety in December 2007 was $12.50 (US$).
42 miles taking M37.
I purchased the field maintenance instructions for Model 37 and 87 pump action shotguns on Ebay. It is a complete guide to disassenbling and reassembling these model guns. It was inexpensive and very clear and detailed. You need a book by Walt Snyder that covers the M37 in GREAT detail including serial numbers. Google his name with "37" or go to gunshop.com
No for US model and yes for Canadian model.
