Does anyone have an idea of the market value for an Imperial 12 Gauge Single Shot Hammer Shotgun, Electro Choked bored Patent August 1913?

  Your cursory description leads me to believe a domestic product... Probably Stevens, but I don't know.
  
  The gun is one of countless utility pieces made for the sole purpose of tossing a load of shot. A new one can be purchased today for right around $100.00 and there's really no collector interest to speak of.
  
  Value? Others will disagree, but I tell folks to expect about $35.00 out of such items. While it's true that you'll see them at gun shows with $100.00 tags, they don't move at that price. Fair retail probably averages $75.00. Wholesale will be half of that.

  Good call, Nord.
  
  It is absolutely a Stevens product. The August 12, 1913 patent date and the 'Electro Steel' markings are specific to Stevens.
  
  It's a $50 gun.
