I can only say again that, with a few notable exceptions, those old single and double barrel guns are at best shooters, and at worst highly dangerous. While any gun made in 1936 would be OK with smokeless powder, I would have the chamber length checked as some guns even that late were still made for 2 9/16" shells. (Of course if it is marked for 2 3/4" shells, it should be OK with them.)
Most of the questions about shotguns involve inheritance, and it is like the "Rembrandt found in the attic" stories. Sure, once in a while someone will turn up a Sousa grade Ithaca or an A No.1 Special Parker gathering dust in the attic, but 99.9999% of the old guns are utilitarian hunting guns, often in poor shape and of low, near zero, value.
