H.G. Wells' first novel was "The Time Machine," published in 1895. This science fiction classic follows the adventures of a time traveler who journeys far into the future.
Crescent Firearms Co. Meriden and Norwich, Connecticut.
Circa 1890s-1930s. Acquired by H.D. Folsom Arms Company.Circa 1893. Eventually absorbed by j. Stevens Arms & Tool company, Massachusetts. Circa 1932. Manufacturers of large quantities of low and medium priced shotguns under their own house and various trade names. Basic single shot- about $65. Unfortunately all records destroyed in the 1930s. Sorry-
Ejector nozzles are used in jet engines. They are the simpler of the nozzles used and are more conventional that iris nozzles. Ejector nozzles are part of a group that includes ejector, iris, rocket, and low-ratio nozzles.
That should be a shotgun, and it will shoot 12 gauge shotshells or slugs, available at any sporting goods store and most department stores. You should check with a gunsmith to determine chamber size. It may also be marked on the barrels, or underneath them, as to chamber length. Some older 12 gauge take shells that are 2-9/16" long. Most modern ones are 2-3/4", and some will take 3". Each length chamber will take any shorter length shell as well.
Value of any gun is based on exact make, model and condition- without all 3, we can't even get in the ballpark for an answer. The Baker Gun company made a side by side under the Leader name, but values vary depending on damascus or steel barrels. Sorry, but you need to visit a gun shop or gun show for a hands-on appraisal of your sshotgun. Please note- EARLY 16 g guns did NOT fire the 2 3/4 inch shells in use today, and are dangerous if they are fired. EVEN IF AN UNFIRED SHELL FITS.
Without seeing it, I would guess that the antique value is nonexistant. The name "Danial Boone" is unrelated to the American frontiersman and is only there to sell the shotgun. It is possible that the gun is American manufacture (Crescent City made thousands of inexpensive shotguns with every name brand you could imagine) or it could be a Spanish or Belgian shotgun. In any case, it is not a Purdy or Winchester or other brand which would command "antique" value. If the gun functions, it would be considered a field piece and could be worth a few hundred dollars. If it is worn out, it is a wall hanger and would not be worth the cost of restoration.
It was never documented when Crescent Firearms made these single shot .410 gauge shotguns.It should be noted that these shotguns were made with a 12in.barrel.Under today,s laws these short barreled single shot shotguns are considered illegal if they were not registered with BATFE and be subject to seizure.
