Crescent Fire Arms Company was the manufacturer of the Nitro Hunter shotgun. It was as an exclusive in-house brand of Belknap Hardware in Louisville.
Your best bet would be to take it to a gunsmith for a professional appraisal.
Nitro Hunter was a trade name used by Crescent firearms, who closed down decades ago. You may find a used stock with a lot of luck, no set price.
About $65-$75, depending on condition. Thee were low $$$ guns made by Crescent, who used about 100 different names. The Nitro Hunter was made for a chain of hardware stores.
MOST I HAVE FOUND ARE FROM $100-$200---LET ME KNOW IF IT IS FOR SALE
I have a nitro hunter 12 ga serial 555281 $50 for the whole gun
