Hang it on a wall. Not worth more that 100 USD and not safe to fire with modern loads.

Identifies the barrel as suitable for modern loads.
Presently no, but they certainly have in the past. In the modern era both the Model 21 & the model 24 were both made in 16 guage.

The W.H.Hamilton 12 Guage shotgun is from the turn of the century. Look for either Damascus or Belgum Twist on the barrel to deermine the era. In good shape it may sell at auction from $200 + - all depending on the completeness and shape. Do not use with modern high velocity powders. Most sell for wall hangings for $150 in average shape.
If it is marked 'American Gun Company' on the sideplate, it would be worth $200 tops. Primarily considered as a mantle decoration and unsafe to shoot with modern ammunition. sales@countrygunsmith.net
Eclipse Gun Company is a name found on Belgian manufactured double barrels from around 1900-1916. The manufacturer was Henri Pieper. Please note that the Damascus barrels were meant for BLACK POWDER shotshells, and should not be fired with modern day ammo.
No. Very dangerous.
The T. Parker was one of the numerous brands shipped from Belgium to the wealthy American market in the late 19th and early 20th century. The purpose of naming it "T. Parker" was to confuse the buyer and make him think that he was purchasing a significantly higher grade "Parker" shotgun. The Belgian shotguns were generally servicable and reasonably safe for the low pressure shells at the time but were not of the highest quality. Firing your shotgun with modern ammunition would be fool hearty. Your shotgun has the highest value to you since its previous owner was you namesake. There is little collector interest or utilitarian value.
