To determine the age of a HSB (Harrington & Richardson) and Co Cruso with serial number 1693, you would need to refer to specific production records or databases related to that manufacturer. HSB firearms typically have documentation that can help date them based on their serial numbers. Without access to those records, it's challenging to provide an exact age. It's recommended to consult a firearms expert or collector's guide for precise information.

The marking is "Cruso", the 'c' is part of the rooster. Cruso is a brand used by Hibbard, Spencer, and Bartlett, a Chicago based wholesale hardware house. They sold products to local hardware retailers. The Cruso guns were contracted by HSB to companies like Crescent, Stevens, Savage, etc, who made inexpensive firearms, usually shotguns, for other companies. These guns should be inspected by a gunsmith before attempting to shoot them. Modern ammunition has hotter powder than these guns were made for which could make them dangerous to shoot. HSB made a variety of objects with the Cruso name on them including padlocks, tools, tinware, livestock supplies, sporting goods, and the list goes on and on.. Other brands used by HSB are OVB (Our Very Best), Rev-O-Noc, True Value, Il-A-Noy, and others. HSB products are somewhat collectible. thckk.org is a place to start.
