Answer
Hello Janelle. Just to be quick, you have a shotgun manufactured by Crescent Firearms Company for a hardware store, Belknap Hardware, Louisville,Ky. It was one of several thousand shotguns manufactured around 1900. They were good utility guns, but they have no collector's value. The value is from $100.00 to $200.00 according to condition. I hope this answers your question and thank you for asking for me. Charles Gage

Hello Janelle. GUN SMITH ALERT!! Have this shotgun checked by a qualified gunsmith before attempting to fire this gun. Charles Gage
