Not sure of the numbers, but they are one handful to fire.

According to The World's Fighting Shotguns by Thomas F. Swearengen the Auto & Burglar was made from 1922 until 1934. Approximately 4500 were fabricated. However, not all were actually sold.
This book has a several page writeup on the Ithaca, among many other shotguns of this style; including the Handy Gun, Holland Auto Burglar, The Defiance Anti-
