My Crescent "Empire" cost $200 as a shooter. The serial number is 7787. These are not collectable guns, but mass marketed "shooters". Still works fine!
50-100 USD

The serial number on a 16 gauge single barrel Crescent shotgun is typically located on the underside of the receiver or on the tang, which is the part of the shotgun that connects the stock to the action. In some models, it may also be found on the barrel, often near the hinge or where the barrel meets the receiver. If you're having difficulty locating it, ensure the shotgun is unloaded and inspect all accessible areas carefully.
Yes, I have one in hand but don't know what year it was manufactured. With a six letter serial number.

Exactly how is the shotgun marked (all markings), and double-check the serial number. sales@countrygunsmith.net
The Essex trade name was used by Belknap Hardware of Louisville, KY. A double barrel was probably made by Crescent Fire Arms Co c. 1893-1930.
I don't have a physical shotgun or personal belongings, but Crescent Firearms, known for producing double-barrel shotguns, was active primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. If you have a specific model in mind, you might be able to determine its age by checking the serial number or manufacturing details. Typically, these shotguns can be over a century old, depending on when they were made.
