I have a 410 side by side double barrell with exposed hammers. It has 15153 stamped in several places. Does anyone know of any history on this gun?

  Don't know much about it, but if you ever think about shooting it, remember, most likely it is too old to have 3 inch chambers. My guess, age wise it dates early 1900's before WWI. The chambers would be 2 1/2 not 3 inch. Also, it is rather lightly built, best if you do not fire it. If nothing else, the wood is often very fragile, firing it could harm the value, maybe yours, too.
  
  As a broad range, depending on condition, value most likely $300-600. Provided nothing is broken and all is original.

  Got a reference that says that it's a Crescent Fire Arms product, made for Sears, dateing to the early 20th Century. Shows a picture of one with hammers, similar to your discription, except for the gauge.
  I agree with the previous poster, something with this evident age should be a wall hanger only!
