If you have a single shot shotgun,then it is worth 50 dollars,if you have a double barrel shotgun then the value could be up to 400.00 dollars,depending on the overall condition and the bores are in good shape.
32 gauge shotguns were last offered in the 1936-37 Stevens catalog and production of these shells ended in the US in the early 1940's.

i have a Stevens like the one you speak of.....here is what mine is stamped....hope it helps.....top, patented august 12 1913 right side of receiver trade mark Stevens reg us pat off & fgn Stevens arms company chicopee falls mass. usa left side stamped nitro special.........
That patent date identifies a Stevens single shot.
I'm interested in the same info. I have a 12 guage that only says Long Tom and August 12, 1913. I don't see the "J Stevens" anywhere. Where do you find that? This was my Father's gun that he bought used around 1935. That's all I know about it.
If patented in 1913 the shotgun is most likely was made before 1920. There is not really any way to get an accurate date without knowing more about the gun.
There were a few different models of Stevens single-shot from that era, and the differences are really minor. They are generally lumped together as 'pre-Model 94'. sales@countrygunsmith.net
That is the date of a patent owned by J. Stevens Arms & Tool Co.
Probably Savage
