Info. on Meriden Model 6 / Marswells 12 ga.

[buckmaster68]

Can anyone give me some info on either one of these guns? They seem to be very old guns. I have these and was wondering what they are worth or where I can find some info about them. The Meriden Model 6 is a roll back .22 caliber small rifle. All it says on the whole gun is Meriden Firearm Co. Model 6, 22 Short and Long. No serial numbers or anything else.
The Marswells is a 12 ga. single shot shotgun. All this one has on it is the Marswells name on the rib on the top of the barrel and it says improved model on the side of the receiver.
If anyone could give me some info on these I would appreciate it.
Thanks ahead of time for your help.

The 22 cal Meriden was made by the Meriden Fire Arms Co. in Meriden Conn. the 1906 if complete can be worth $100++ depending on condition, Later they became a subsidiary of Sears Roebuck Co. (1915) Currently Meriden rifles are made by Empire Rifle and are Mauser 98 based rifles in many different grades.
Marswell shotgun- made for Marshall-Wells Hardware Co. located in Duluth Minn., they were made by Iver-Johnson. Solid rib shotguns are much more rare than plain barrels and worth more.

This Marswellshas the solid rib all the way down the barrel. But it is in pretty tough shape. It does fire and shootthough.
