Answer
Hi Michael,

The Little Scout Rifle was a version of the "Favorite" rifle of which there were more than a dozen versions in various configurations.

The Little Scout is a utility takedown rifle. It is blued with a one piece stock. It has a falling block type action and was made between 1906 and 1910.

If in "good" condition it would have a retail value of around $200.

Thanks for the question Michael.
