Model 49's were made from 1962 thru 1978.
I am 45 years old. When I was ~10, or in 1973 my father purchaced a lever action Ithaca 22 caliber rifle for me. I still have the rifle, It is one of our familys favorite guns.
No, bolt-action only. Bummer! I was under the impression that they did some years back but discontinued the 35 cal. lever action rifle by Remington
If you have a winchester model 1894 rifle?These rifles that were made during the war years,1943-1948 did not have their serial numbers recorded by winchester.Your rifle was made during this time span.
The Ithaca Model 49 was manufactured between 1951 and 1978. So at best it is 30 years old. In 80% condition today the standard model is worth about $100.

Mossberg, mid '70s.
Perhaps the most popular 30-30 rifles are the Winchester 94, and the Marlin 336. Both have been in production for over 60 years, and the appearance has changed very little. If you conduct a Google IMAGE search, and enter Winchester 94, or marlin 336, you can see what they look like. They are both lever action rifles, with blued steel and walnut stocks.
What type action? Tip-up, lever, falling block, rolling block, bolt action? It could be any of several boys rifles or target rifles. Exactly how is the company name written on the gun? The "J. Stevens and Co" version was discontinued 8 years before the 1894 patent date on yours.
@35 years
The serial number suggests that it is a Flues Model Ithaca hammerless double. Without more info, that's all I can tell you. It could be a very valuable gun, so get it appraised. If it is the Flues, it would have been made in 1919. This is from Moe in Iowa..Ithaca Gun Company sold a single shot lever action .22 caliber rifle from 1961-1978. It was the model 49. They also had a model 49R for three years that was a repeater. This was discontinued and the a lever repeater was made which was the Model 72 in the early 70s. The guns themselves were made in Germany by Erma Werke but, reportedly, the wood stocks and forearms were put on by Ithaca in the U. S. However, I am rambling. I bought two Ithaca Model 49 rifles recently and each of them has a a six digit serial number not far off from that listed in the question. One of my serial numbers is 277xxx and the other is 246xxx. In case it is not obvious the x in the serial number represents a digit that I will not reveal just to prevent some type of abuse related to firearms. As you can see the two serial numbers represent numbers relatively close to the questioner's. Note also that the Model 49 was in inexpensive rifle aimed at the boy's market so in 17 years I am sure there were many sold. Thus, there was probably a long string of serial numbers assigned by Ithaca to this firearm model.
Winchester made there model 1906 pump action .22cal rifles from 1906-1935.
