It can not be any older than 1907
Depending on the condition of the firearm, on personal expierence i've seen them for around 200-300 dollars But my grandfather owns a Visible loader and its been apraised for 400 Dollars. Hope this helps.
As with many Stevens rifles of the first half of the 1900s, different reference books offer different dates of manufacture. It's usually accepted that the Visible Loader #70 was manufactured from 1907 into the early 1930s. It was last assembled from remaining parts in 1941 after parts production had ceased several years earlier. Sometimes called the "Miserable Loader," this gun can be found in good condition for $150 to $275 dollars. Ones with higher prices never seem to sell. Needing some work, they can be found for as little as $50.
Stevens made the model 70 from 1907 to 1932 or so and cycled through production numbers of A 1 to Z 999 three or more times. Best guess (1932-1907 / 2 =12 : 1907+12=1919 ) Call it 1920 easier to remember. Hope this helps.
A few different models of the Visible Loader were offered between 1907 and 1932. Mainly differing only in the sights. Truly excellent condition rifles can reach $350-$400. sales@countrygunsmith.net

The Stevens Visible Loader, sometimes called the "Miserable Loader" because of its tendency to malfunction, was made from 1907 well into the 1930s. They are fairly common guns on on-line auction sites and at gunshows. Value depends on condition and exact model. Most were the Model 70 and today bring $100 to $400. Models with fancy sites, pistol-grip stock and other embellishments can carry price tags of up to $600 if in great condition, but they are slow to sell at that price. An "average" price" is $250 to $325.
