I have a New Haven Arms Double Barrel Shotgun and I need any info as to value and rarity that anyone might have. I think it is a 20 Gauge.

  New Haven Arms Company was a trade name found on Belgian shotguns imported by either E.K. Tyron of Philadelphia or The Great Western Gun Works of Pittsburgh, PA.
  
  Check for a Belgian proofmark...probably an "E" over an "LG".
  
  These were usually inexpensive "trade name" shotguns imported in the 1890 to 1915 era. They were designed for blackpowder and are not safe to shoot with modern loads.
  
  Unless yours is in unusually beautiful condition, it's probably worth $50-75 as a wallhanger or decorator.
