Much depends on maker and grade of your gun. The rib of your gun should haveing writing to the effect of FINE Extra Fine Diamond ect. Give us the proof marks and symbols found under the barrels and on the action flats. You can find these when you remove the barrels. Small guage will bring exta money no matter the grade. Condition is also very importand,does the action still show any case color,is the stock sound with strong checkering ect. A low grade in 90% shape will bring more than a top grade at 10%.

What is the age and value of a J Stevens model 250 12 gauge double barrel shotgun with with damascus barrels and outside hammers?
Does it say J. Stevens AND Co or J. Stevens ARMS & TOOL Co or J. Stevens ARMS Co? The first would have been made from 1865 to 1886, the second from 1886 to 1915, and the third from 1920 to about 1945 (unlikely if it has damascus barrels). Value is $100 - $300 depending on condition, but only as a mantle decoration. Damascus or twist barrels were fine when they were produced, but were not intended for modern smokeless ammunition. Even if they were proofed for smokeless powder circa 1900, today's smokeless is not the same and after a century the barrels have probably deteriorated.

How do you find information on a J Stevens A and T Co shotgun?
The Standard Catalog of Firearms lists 67 different side by side models made by Stevens. Many of them had exposed hammers, either back-hammer boxlocks or sidelocks, and most were manufactured during the time "A&T" was included in the name (1886-1916). If your gun has twist or damascus barrels, it is basically a wallhanger. If it also has side hammers, then at least it is a wallhanger with some value - generally $125-$150. If it has fluid steel barrels, regardless of the hammers, it could still be a useable gun if approved by a qualified gunsmith. Value as a shooter would be $200-$250.

What is the value of a Crescent Peerless double barrel shotgun?
If it is a fully functional (have it checked by an experienced gunsmith) gun with fluid steel barrels, back hammers or hammerless, it should bring $200+ as a shooter. If it has side hammers and twist steel barrels, it's worth $125-$150 as a mantle decoration.
What is the age and value of a Utica Firearms Co shotgun?
Utica Firearms Company: Trade name used by the Simmons Hardware Company of St. Louis, Missouri on firearms they retailed c. 1900. Yours is a bit unusual if it has damascus barrels but no exterior hammers. Shooters want fluid steel barrels, decorators want side hammers, and few collectors want hardware-store guns, so I'd say unusual is not a good thing. Even in NRA Excellent condition (98%+ original finish) I doubt if you could get over $200.

What is the age and value of a Stevens Arms and Tool Co shotgun?
If it is marked "J. Stevens Arms & Tool Co" it was made between 1886 and 1916 when "Arms & Tool" were part of the company name. Value will depend on the configuration and condition. Side hammers usually go as mantle decorations, especially if they have damascus barrels ($75 for single shots, $125-$150 for double barrels). Boxlocks (back hammer or hammerless) in good shape can bring $75 (single) to $250 (double) as shooters.

Who made Electric City 12 gauge Shotguns?
I copied this rom another site- one of tens of thousands of shotguns made by Crescent. Commonly referred to as "hardware store guns". I have an old Essex side by side, manufactured around 1900 (it has steel barrels, not Damascus or twist steel), 28" barrels and exposed hammers. I removed the firing pins, and it makes a beautiful wall hanger. I don't think anybody knows exactly how many trademarks Crescent stamped on their sideplates, but there were a ton of them. Mine's worth 100-125 bucks. Yours should be around 100 bucks as well. Before shooting it, make ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that the barrels are steel. Modern day loads in Damascus or twist steel are hand grenades waiting to happen.
