The Markham-king Chicago was made between 1887 and 1910. It has Value but in order to give and estimate I need to know the current condition of the rifle . Is it in Poor, Fair. Good or Very Good condition?
In good working order and good physical order it would be worth between $300 and $400 but if it has a cracked stock it is 15% less in price.
In order to give you an estimate you will need to give more information about the air rifle. Like, is it still working and what condition is it in? You will have to estimate the condition, Is it in Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good or Excellent condition. Without more information it is not possible to give you an estimate of value.
Markham was in the air gun business from 1886-1916. The King rifle was added to Markhm's line in 1890. In 1916, Markham sold out to Daisy who continued to make the Markham King Model air rifle until 1935. http://www.network54.com/Browse/Sports/Shooting/Air_Guns is a world wide forum You can find many others by doing a search on "antique air guns".
I believe you are asking about a Markham-King Chicago. It fires a .180 large BB or darts. Manufactured between 1887-1910 made of Maple wood. stock stamped on the left side with logo "Markam Air Co." or "Chicago Air Rifle." Please state the condition of the rifle to get an estimate of value. Is it still working? Is it in poor, fair, good or very good condition. re-post your question with this information and I will try to give you an estimate of current value.
The oldest known air rifle gun was invented by Girandoni of Vienna about 1780, for the Austrian Army. Lewis and Clark also carried an air rifle on their trip across the west. The first BB gun was made by the WF Markham Company in 1886. After the turn of the century Daisy owned the Markham company
It all depends on the condition of the air rifle. Without more information it is not possible to answer you.

Benjamin made a model 1300 air pistol not a air rifle. It would be worth between $130-$155 in VG shape They were made between 1959-1964 They did make a 3100 air rifle... If you have a 1300 rifle then I do not know the value.....
25-100 or so
