If it's a hammerless boxlock, it could still be a shooter worth $100 - $250. If it has large side hammers, it's a wall decoration but still worth almost as much. I have one... it belonged to my dad...he purchased it used around1918- 1920 SN 410344 stamper on the stock/receiver, barrel and the hand grip, (same numbers on all three pieces) ... Does this mean anytrhing to anyone??? Mdales Only to you. There is no serialization listing for Crescent firearms that would allow you to date its manufacturer.
Crescent manufactured shotguns from 1888 to 1940. They sold a million utility shotguns that were "branded" by hardware stores and the like. Typical value is $85 to $150.
go to gunstocksinc.com then look under misc. shotguns the fore arms are $25.00 i just ordered one myself
very good question. new york arms co. is nowhere to be found. have very old 12 gauge single barrel shotgun stamped "GENUINE ARMORY STEEL" and "CHOKE BORED" "NEW YORK ARMS CO." New York Arms Co was a trade name manufactured by Crescent Firearms. Genuine Armory Steel - Choke Bored is also a Crescent marking. They also used the name Armory Gun Co.
Empire firearms were made by the H & D Folsom/Crescent Arms Co. in the very late 1800's thru the early 1900's. This organization manufactured low cost firearms under a number of different names. You could actually buy the same firearm at a number of different stores with three different names on it. Attempting to determine the age of this firearm is probably a lost cause as all the assets of this group were aquired, I believe, by the Stevens Arms Co. during the early 1930's. All records have since either been lost or destroyed. I will assume that you would not consider shooting this firearm without first haveing it checked by a qualified gunsmith. I believe most of guns stamped Empire firearms were probably designed in the late black powder or very early smokeless powder era and as such their safety with modern ammo. is suspect. By trhe way, their were also Empire Arms Co. marked firearms (again made by Cresent Arms Co.) made for Sears. I have no idea if they were the same guns or not.
Assuming you're talking about who the company transitioned into, and that would be Savage Stevens firearms. http://www.savagearms.com/
