To determine the age of a White Powder Wonder 16 gauge break-down single shot shotgun with the serial number 823RW, you would typically need to consult the manufacturer's records, as these shotguns were produced by various companies in the early to mid-20th century. Generally, models produced under the White Powder Wonder name were made between the 1920s and 1950s. The specific serial number may also help narrow down the production year by referencing available serial number charts or databases. For the most accurate information, contacting a firearms historian or the manufacturer (if still in existence) would be advisable.

Guns with the name New White Powder Wonder were made by the Crescent Fire Arms Company, W.H. Davenport Arms, Meridian Fire Arms Company or Stevens Arms & Tool Company. They were made for and sold by Sears Roebuck & Company.
$50-$75 if it is a single shot, $150-$250 if it is a double barrel.
Chances are that it was made by Cresent firearms co.They made many different house brand name shotguns from 1880-1920.
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.

this question is poorly structured! no wonder noone has answered it....
our serial number indicates that your Springfield model Krag rifle was made in the year 1898.
Another example of a hardware-store catalog gun, this one probably retailed by Sears. Value tops out under $100. sales@countrygunsmith.net
