  It's a hardware store gun.
  A little history on them
  
  Crescent Fire Arms Company once located in Norwalk, Conn., and H.∓D. Folsom in New York City. From 1888 to 1899, Crescent made shotguns on its own. Sometime around 1900, the company merged with N.R. Davis and H.∓D. Folsom, becoming Crescent- Davis. Crescent made shotguns for many, many companies under many names. Once amalgamated with H.∓D. Folsom, the list exploded This list includes Worthington.
  
  Yours has very little collector value and if in good conditon a shooter.
  If was Grandpa's keep for sentimental value

  My reference notes that this was a "Store Brand" shotgun made for the George Worthington Co. of Cleveland Ohio.
  
  They were produced by both Crescent & Stevens, circa early 1900's.
  
  Even if the barrels are steel rather then Damascus, 50% condition for a 16 double, $100 - $200
