Mossberg help needed
Hello all, I cleanout estates for a living and came across a few guns and was wondering if anyone could help with the value before I let them go to a dealer. 1st is: O.F Mossberg & Sons New Haven Conn. 85 C 20 GA.- 2 3/4 IN. PROOF TESTED. REAL NICE CONDITION. 2ND: This one I am stuck on because its an old shotgun but has no name except CAST STEEL written on the barrel. There is a symbol on this one which looks like a Z. Looks like it was repaired or a new barrel put on this one. Not much information but I could take pictures. Otherwise very clean. The 3rd is S.S. Kresge Co. Troy Michigan 48084 586024 Model 151. Shotgun. rusty barrel, needs cleaning.
4th is Original Geco Carabiner 1919. I believe it to be a kids 22 rifle. Next is a NO. 47 22 CAL. S&L. PAT OCT 30TH 1900. AUG. 9TH 1910. CO. HAMILTON & SONS PLYMOUTH, MICH. USA. NEXT IS A: IVER JOHNSON 16 GAUGE CHOKE BORE BARREL AND LUG FORGED IN ONE PAT JUNE 15 15. PAT'S PEND. 58381 B. And the last one is a: J. Stevens Arms Co. Chicopee Falls, MASS. USA 22 SHORT-LONG OR LONG RIFLE. Thanks for any help you can provide. Lisa

Hi, Lisa--
Looks like my compadres are leaving me to do the heavy lifting![:D] I'll try to help out--most of these firearms were/are inexpensive. Since I'm a dealer I'll tell you what I would offer were you to bring them through my door. Mossberg 85C ("real nice condition")$50-80. Shotgun, no markings except "cast steel" (repaired?) $35-50. S.S. Kresge (K-Mart) Model 151 (Boito-Brazilian) (rusty)$25-35.
Geco Carbiner 1919: GECO was a tradename used by Gustav Genschow, Hamburg Germany. I am not totally up on all of the various German mergers, buyouts, etc. made more complicated by two world wars, but the same name is still is use today and is associated with Rottweil firearms and ammunition. This one should be better identified and may have some collector value. Sorry I can't help you more on it. You might try taking this one to a gun show or selling it on the GunBroker auction.
Hamilton (long out of business) made inexpensive boy's rifles. There is some collector interest in these, but condition always has a lot to do with price. Without more info I can only tell you that you are in the $85-150 price range. This would be a good one to take to a gun show or offer on GunBroker's auction.
Iver Johnson shotgun, about $50.
Savage .22 rifle. You haven't supplied a model number or condition. Bolt action, single shot or magazine fed? Semi-auto? Depending on type and condition, $15 for a single shot in poor condition to $85 for a repeater in excellent condition. In any event, not a collectable, with primary value as a shooter.
Hope there is some help here for you.[:)]0 -
The GECO Carabiner was a single-shot .22 bolt action with a 19" barrel. Sell for around $100-$150 if in mint condition.

I would like to thank you very much for your information. At least I know where I stand with these rifles now. For the price of the kids guns, I think I will keep them because they look real nice hanging over the fireplace. I will however look into the gunbrokers auction. Thanks again for your valuable time. Enjoy your summer, Lisa
