  Flayderman's Guide to Antique American Firearms, references a Gem revolver manufactured by the Bacon Arms CO. The revolvers date to the 1870's & 80's, and reportedly are the smallest American antique revolvers made.
  
  They still have a substantial value. Flayderman gives a price range of $550 & $1,500 depending on condition.
  
  This would apply if it's factory original and hasn't been refinished or altered over the years, since it manufacture.
