I never met a farmer with a double. Never.
My Grandfather was a farmer in Independence Township, Hennepin County, Minnesota, and after a brief affair with one of those new fangled Winchester Model 1897s, he traded it off at Kennedy Bros. in 1901 for a used 1890 vintage heavy PH-Grade Parker Bros.
and used it until his death in 1954. My uncle, born the year Grandpa got the Parker, used it for another 30 years.
As to the No. 1E NID Super-Ten in question, we know from Walter's search of the records for Frank Srebro's
DGJ article on the NID Super-Tens that there were around 300 less Super-Tens built than Magnum-Tens. Even if that gun has a 1929 serial number, it must have languished in inventory a while, as the Ithaca "bridge trestle" recoil pad didn't come out until 1931-2. Likewise, the Howland-designed non-selective single trigger also first appears in the 1932 Ithaca Gun Co. catalogues.
