There were too many various rifles made by J Stevens between 1896 and 1933 to identify yours. You will need to have the rifle identified by a gun smith or collector to be able to learn more about it.

What is the age and value of a Stevens Model 33 shotgun?

The "J.Stevens" name was shortened to "Stevens" in 1940. What you need to look for is the chamber size, which should be stamped on the barrel. It needs to be 2 & 3/4 inches to shoot modern ammo. Also Stevens usually stamped near the chamber size if the barrel was proof tested. My Stevens single is stamped "Proof Tested Steel" and it handles modern ammo well, but kicks like a mule. To be really safe, let a gunsmith look at it.
