Many early shotguns were single shot muzzleloaders. Some were double-barrel with barrels arranged side-by-side. This is also true of later breach-loading shotguns. The action style for these single and double-barrel breachloaders is 'break-open'.
If that is an old double barrel "New Ithaca Double" it was made in 1926.
The shotguns were manufactured by Ithaca from 1921 through 1947. Yours was manufactured in 1928.
