The Stevens model 52b dates to the mod-1930s. Stevens is the same company as Savage, and also sold rifles under the name Springfield (not to be confused with the Springfield Armory military rifle maker) and shotguns under the name Fox. The model 52b was also sold by Montgomery Ward under the Wards house brand "Western Field" as a model 36. To confuse matters, Wards also sold the Mossberg model 10 (very similar to the 52b) as a Western Fields model 36.

it was a child's first gun. one in excellent condition is probably woth $100.00
This is probably an 1894 Favorite. Depending on condition, it is worth $125(poor) to $400 (excellent). A drawback is the scarcity of .25-caliber ammunition.
It was made sometime between 1920 and 1942.
Stevens made many different models of rifle during that time period. Any way you can tell us which model you have? Or caliber? sales@countrygunsmith.net
I am not sure about the "Buckhorn" part, but if it is the same as the Stevens (part of Savage Arms) 52B S-L-LR .22 caliber single shot bolt rifle it should date to the mid-1930s. This firearm was also sold by Montgomery Ward as a Western Field model 36. (To make things confusing, the Western Field model 36 referred to both a rebranded Stevens model 52B-62-83N and a rebranded Mossberg model 10. The Mossberg 10 was made 1933-35.) The 1934 Stevens parts catalogue includes the Stevens model 52B (see http://www.cornellpubs.com/Templates/StevensParts1934.htm), as does the 1938 Stevens parts catalogue. The Stoeger 1939 World's Fair Issue Gun and Sports Catalogue does not include the 52B, but does list the Stevens Buckhorn models 53, 56, 66, and 76. The website www.e-gunparts.com lists the component parts of the Stevens model 52B under the heading "Savage, Fox, Springfield, and Stevens." All of these were brand names used by the Stevens company.
where can i find replacement parts for a 22 caliber Stevens modle987
Well, you will have to define the term 22 caliber bullet- there are dozens of different versions. If you mean the ordinary .22 Long Rifle cartridge, it was created by the J. Stevens Arms & Tool Company in Chicopee Falls, MA.
I've seen them for sale on Cabela's used rifle rack for about $100, but I spent $50 just to get a replacement bolt for my model 56. I love its looks and wouldn't part with it, due to sentimental value. (First gun, gift from grandpa)
