about 150-200 if it has a nice petina and no rust, decent furniture, down to 35-50 as a wall hanger or lamp.

The plastic on a laminated sheet will never break down. After many years, perhaps in sunlight, the plastic will break into smaller pieces. If the paper is exposed to moisture and warmth it should then biodegrade in a few months.
The laminated beams ( LVL) need to be painted to stop them delaminating.Marine grade wood sealer if it's weather exposed.
Etching is done with acid, its used to eat away material that is exposed to it and material that is covered is untouched Engraving is actually carving something with tools You could have found this out yourself using something thats available these days, called a SEARCH ENGINE
The bottom of the radiator is exposed and has a plastic nut that is loosened with a crescent wrench. Once that is loose, the coolant will drain from the center of that nut.
THE NICKel PLATING IS PROBABLY AFTERMARKET, BELGIUM WAS KNOWN FOR HUNDREdS OF DIFFERENT MAKES OF GUNS. THE EXPOSED HAMMERS DO INDICATE A BEFORE 1950 ERA.IF THERE IS NO MAKERS NAME VISiBLE YOU'Re LOOKING AT $100 TO $150 MAX
Manufactured in Belgium for Shapleigh Hardware of St Louis circa 1880-1914. No matter how good it looks, the laminated barrels are not suitable for any ammunition you can buy off the shelf today. Did you forget the "watzitworth" part that everyone wants to know? I'll give it anyway. As a family heirloom it can be priceless. As wall decor, it could bring up to $250. As a shooter, it's worthless. Well, someone involved in Cowboy Action Shooting events who is willing to hand-load black powder shells might be interested, but the price would still be about the same as a wallhanger. I HAVE A 12 GAUGE DOUBLE BARRELED SHOTGUN MADE BY THE BRIDGE GUN COMPANY WITH EXPOSED HAMMERS AND THE INSCRIPTION ON IT SAYS LAMINATED FIGURE BELGIUM. MY GUN IS IN REAL GOOD SHAPE ( VERY LITTLE PITS IN THE BORES AND NO PLAY BETWEEN THE BARRELS AND RECEIVER ) HOWEVER I SHOOT MY GUN. I TOOK IT TO A GUNSMITH AND HE INSPECTED IT, HE TOLD ME HE WOULDNT BE SCARED TO SHOOT IT WITH A LIGHT LOAD. HE SUGGESTED A SHELL WITH 3 DR. OR LESS. I USE REMINGTON 12 GAUGE 2 3/4 LENGHT 3DR.EQ. 1 1/8 SHOT THIS IS A TARGET LOAD. I HAVE SHOT MINE SEVERAL TIMES AND IT SHOOTS GOOD AND DOESNT KICK VERY HARD, MINE HAS WHAT IS CALLED A OPEN CHOKE.
if its a single shot, then 75-150, a double barrel possibly 300
