Nothing in particular. Just decoration.

BRIDGE GUN CO was a tradename used by the hardware/catalog store Shapleigh Hardware in St Louis. The guns were actually made by Crescent Firearms and distributed by the HD Folsom Co to the trade. The '96 reference is probably a patent date, since these guns were not manufacture dated and no serial number records exist. Value for a single-barrel will be below $100, double-barrels up to $200 as decorator pieces. Do not attempt to fire unless thoroughly checked by a reputable gunsmith.

This would have been made by H. Pieper or Anciens Etablissments Pieper in Leige, Belgium, sometime between 1890 and 1914 for Shapleigh Hardware Stores. Value will range from $150 if it is still useable to maybe $250 if it is still like-new.

GREEN BUG, BRIDGE GUN CO. Crescent Fire Arms Co or J. Stevens Arms & Tool Co made these for Shapleigh Hardware Co of St Louis. Shapleigh dates from 1868 (to the mid 1960's I think), Crescent from 1893 to 1930, and Stevens A&T from 1886 to 1915.

Bridge Gun Company and Bridge Gun Works were trade names owned by Shapleigh Hardware Co of St Louis. The guns were made in Belgium by H. Pieper and Anciens Etablissment Pieper and in the US by Crescent, Stevens, and Harrington & Richardson. There's a good chance that a single shot would be a Stevens Model 94.

Not very precisely. Bridge Gun Co was a trade name distributed by Shapleigh Hardware of St Louis. Single shots marked "Black Prince Bridge Gun Co" were made by Crescent Fire Arms (1893-1930), J. Stevens Arms & Tool Co (1886-1915), and Harrington & Richardson Arms Co (1872-1985). Double barrel guns with outside hammers marked "Bridge Gun Co. Black Prince Armory Steel Belgium" were made by Anciens Etablissment Pieper in Leige, Belgium (1905-1957), and hammerless doubles marked Bridge Black Prince were made by Crescent Fire Arms and J. Stevens Arms (1920-c.1948). If you can find that your gun was made by Stevens, the Stevens historian may be able to find an approximate date of manufacture.
