Crescent FireArms Company of Norwich, Connecticut manufactured good quality inexpensive single and double barrel shotguns at its Norwich works, beginning about 1892. The Crescent guns were offered in 12, 16, 20, and 28 gauges with Damascus twist laminated or Armory steel barrels depending on the shooter's wants. In 1898 it was said that these were the best American hammer guns in the market for the money.
Huge quantities of these "Hardware Guns" were produced in a profusion of private brands as well as in the Folsom house brand "American Gun Co. of NY". Crescent sold the guns until they were bought by J. Stevens Arms Co., Division of Savage Arms Corp in about 1930.
The Kingsland 10 Star was manufactured for Geller, Ward & Hasner of St. Louis, Mo.
Steel barrel shotguns should be checked by a gunsmith prior to use. Damascus barrel shotguns should be permanently retired.
The value of the firearm is principally decorative and priced accordingly.

i got a 12 gauge king nitro double barrel double triggers and double hammers no serial number on it
I would look at the number of barrels. If there is more than one barrel, you know you have at least a double barrel shotgun. If there are 1 or less barrels, then you don't.
If it's not immediatley apparent, you won't.
It sounds to me that you have a Ithaca Flues model double barrel shotgun.With the serial number that you provided,your shotgun was made by Ithaca in 1917.

What is the Value of my Crescent Fireams, 12 Gauge, Double Barrel, Curly Hammers......no serial number that I can find
With the serial number that you provided,your Ithaca double barrel shotgun with the damascus barrels was produced in the year 1900.
Your serial number indicates that you have a Ithaca crass model double,that was made in 1903.
First, you will need to know the manufacturer's name, the model or model number, the serial number and condition of the 10 gauge double barrel shotgun before a "worth", can be considered.
