That patent date means it was manufactured by Stevens. Value will run from $25 if rusted or busted to $200+ if in like-new condition.
The 12 gauge double barrel Hercules x45819, with a patent date of April 20, 1915, suggests it was likely manufactured around that time. Given the patent date, it would be approximately 108 years old as of 2023. It's important to note that the exact manufacturing date could vary based on production practices and records from the manufacturer.
Is was made in 1919, that is the patent date. I suspect I have the patent posted in the patent section of the Gallery on the Remington Society of America if you want to see it...
You really could give a bit more information. That patent date just happens to be one I recognized as being used by J. Stevens on the model 311 and some other double barrel shotguns. If it is in useable condition (need to have an experienced gunsmith check it out if you have even the slightest doubt) a double barrel is worth $100-$250, depending on exact condition.
E. Remington and Sons (predecessor to Remington Arms Co) manufactured firearms in Ilion, New York, from 1860 to 1888.
Cape guns (side by side with one shotgun barrel and one rifle barrel) in decent shape are generally worth at least $1,000. The trouble is that there are few people actually buying them these days.
