The Spencer Gun Co. made guns for Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co. of Chicago, Il. These guns were actually manufactured by the Crescent Fire Arms Co. of Norwich, Connecticut from about 1892 to 1922 with "Spencer Gun Co" as a brand name. They were good quality insexpensive single and double barrel shotguns. This is not to be confused with the Spencer rifle fo Civil War fame which was manufactured by the Burnside Rifle Co in 1865 or the later Spencer Arms Co. of Windsor, Connecticut who manufactured the first successful slide action repeating shotgun from 1882 to 1889.

What kind of information are you looking for? There doesn't seem to be much. It was a trade name used by Crescent. A 410 would not have been made until sometime after 1900, probably not before WWI, and it does not appear that this name was continued after Crescent was purchased by Stevens.

There was no Crescent Firearms Co after 1935 when the company was purchased by Savage/Stevens.

Probably because everyone copied the list trade names on their web pages from the back of the Standard Catalog and it isn't there. The Catalog only lists 2 Enders model names, but Vorisek's Shotgun Markings - 1865-1940 lists 13, including the Royal American which was a Crescent Model 60. All were marked for Shapleigh Hardware of St Louis.

I can't help with the "number 135" designation, but Crescent Arms Co. .410 shotguns can range in value from almost nothing (for a utility single shot model with exposed hammer in poor condition) to over $1,000 for a Crescent Certified Shotgun or New Empire in perfect condition (these have factory 12 1/2" barrels and are SUBJECT TO ATF III ATF REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS (and seizure if currently unregistered). Finally, if it is a 12" Victor Ejector, extreme rarity prevents any price estimate. Assuming you have a standard side-by-side, values can exceed $400 for 100% condition guns (with premiums for exposed hammers and/or sidelock actions).

Unknown.

Look at the back of the breech. If there isn't a hammer, it's hammerless. Hammers are those things that stick up at the back of the barrel. On a single action gun you have to cock them (pull them back) before you pull the trigger. Pulling the trigger cocks and releases the hammers on a double action. All the firing mechanism is inside a hammerless gun.

There were some Shotguns Stamped Rev-O-Noc H.S.B. & CO. that were made by Hopkins & Allen. They were distributed/retailed by Hibbard Spencer Bartlett of St Louis, Mo. Rev-O-Noc shotguns made by Crescent were also distributed by Richards and Conover of Kansas City. They were also manufactured by Baker Gun and Forging Co and Iver Johnson Arms and Cycle Works. HSB & Co was in Chicago.

COMPEER was a tradename used by the Van Camp Hardware& Iron Co located in Indianapolis IN. The guns were made by Crescent Firearms and distributed by HD Folsom from 1893-1910. Value will be up to $200.

Stanley firearms was a name applied to firearms imported from Belgian by the H & D Folsom Arms Co. of New York, N.Y.. The Folsom Arms Co. imported & or manufactured low cost firearms under a number of different names. You could actually buy the same firearm at a number of different stores with different names on it. Cresent Arms (a manufacture of low cost firearms) of Norwich, Conn. was acquired by the Folsom Arms Co. to be ther manufacturing division. As all the records of this originazation ( Folsom/ Cresent) have been long since lost or destroyed. Your search for more imfo. is going to be a tough one. Good luck!

No way to value with just the sn and no other information. The name of the maker is needed.

They have a 12 1/4 inch barrel and what I read refered to them as a pistol. They are under special classification by the ATF. The law was specifically changed to cover this type of weapon and get them off the market.

I have a Stevens Peerless model I'm in need of a magazine and information about this old rifle.

Crescent mark is only used in Muslim countries hospitals, as it is represents symbol of Islam & faith.
