No published sn data that I know of.
About $65-$75, depending on condition. Thee were low $$$ guns made by Crescent, who used about 100 different names. The Nitro Hunter was made for a chain of hardware stores.
Nitro in the name would imply smokeless powder, so the earliest would be shortly after 1900. Could have been as recent as 1945.
what year was the nitro hunter singal shot shotgun 12G made.
I would say that with the serial number 1321XX,we are looking at your shotgun being made by ithaca(who made the lefever nitro special) in 1924.
Made in 1927

The Lefever Nitro Special was made by Ithaca. Yours was made in 1923.

No serial number as the Hunter was made up to 1964 and serial numbers began in 1968
That Lefever was made in 1923.
