Yes, Crescent Firearms did produce a 16-gauge double-barrel shotgun known as the "Featherlight." This model was part of their lineup in the early to mid-20th century, and it was known for being lightweight and easy to handle. Crescent Firearms manufactured various shotguns and rifles, often aimed at the budget-conscious consumer. The Featherlight model exemplified their commitment to producing functional and affordable firearms.

Right here is one place. New York Arms Co. was a trade name used by the H.& D. Folsom Arms Company on firearms made for the Garnet Carter Company of Chattanooga, TN.....which means that it's about a 99.9% chance that it was made by Crescent. If a store paid for the cost of the metal stamp, Crescent would put the name of your store- or any name- on a run of at least 10 guns.

Cresent Arms was bought by H&D Folson Arms Co. NY. Then in 1930 it merged with Davis Warner Arms Co. and became Cresent-Davis Arms Corporation. Cresent-Davis was then bought out in 1932 by Stevens Arms Co.

There was no Victor Ejector gun company. Your gun is known as a "Trade Brand Name" shotgun. A "Trade Brand Name" shotgun is one that was made by a major gun maker (and before 1940) for and was sold by a wholesale sporting goods dealer, a retail chain store, or an independent seller who chose the name to go on the gun. Guns with the name VICTOR EJECTOR were made by the Crescent Firearms Company of Norwich, CT (1892 to 1930+) for and were sold at wholesale by the H & D Folsom Company of New York City a large wholesale, retail, jobber and distributor of guns and sporting goods. The records of Crescent Firearms were destroyed in a scrap paper drive in 1943 during World War Two. H & D Folsom owned Crescent Fire Arms from 1893 to 1930 and what ever Folsom wanted, Crescent made. And what they wanted was a lot of inexpensive (read cheap) shotguns fast. Folsom also owned the name American Gun Co. The shotguns sold new for between $15 and $25 and hasn't appreciated much over the years. The current value will depend on the guns condition, the amount of original finish remaining on the metal and wood as well as the mechanical condition. Most of these guns in excellent condition will bring between $50 and $75.

Bellmore is a brand name used by the Crescent Gun Company.

Crescent operated from 1893 to 1930. There doesn't seem to be any source to pinpoint dates of manufacture by serial numbers.

Crescent was a subsidiary of H&D Folsom Sporting Goods, New York. Many of their products were sold through Folsom's retail outlets, but Folsom was also a large wholesale dealer and many Crescent guns were marked with the names or trademarks of other retail chains and even independent hardware stores.

They sold a million utility shotguns that were "branded" by hardware stores and the like. Typical value is $85 to $250.

Sorry, it's not a serial number. Just a lot or batch number. Probably sold through Sears & Roebuck catalog circa 1930. Too old to be useful to a hunter, too common to be a collectable. $50 - $100 if it is a single shot, $150 - $250 if a double barrel.

All I know of Metropolitan is the Metropolitan Arms Co. in New York city, received its impetus when Colt's factory suffered substantial fire damage in 1864. Every Metropolitan Arms product was a copy of a Colt.

There are a few energy transformations when a gun is fired. Some of these include potential to kinetic energy, chemical to mechanical energy, and chemical to electromagnetic energy.
