  Hamilton made a large number of so-called "Boy's Rifles" between 1898 and 1945....both tip-up and bolt action.
  
  Your's being a bolt action, narrows it down to about 5 models. Does your's have Model # on it?
  
  Also, to value it, we'll need to have a good description of it's condition.

  Hamilton made a million of these (I mean a million for real) and they are very common in the condition you descrbibe. I see these sell for around $100 at auction. I doubt that there even exists a Hamilton Rifle in a condition better than very good and that is the level you'd need for your rifle to be a valuable collectable. Every American boy at the turn of the century had one of these Hamilton Rifles (my Grand Dad in Utah did) and they got used HARD.
