Quoted:
generic old single-barrel shotgun $100
1st gun - I disagree that its a generic old single shot. It needs some more research. Not to mean its some rare $$$ shotgun just that it doesn't appear to be the
garden variety single shot turn of the century shotgun.
M1864 Snider breechloading rifle w/ butchered stock. $200-300
Its not English at all. The barrel is Belgian proofed and I see "Etienne" on the side plate as in St.Etienne, France.
Its a French Snider conversion and is probably a shotgun as in Zulu shotgun.

US Revolver Co topbreak(think Lorcin of the day) - $50
Pretty sure Iver-Johnson made these.
Generic Spur-Trigger revolver -
This one needs more research.
Manhattan(?) Hammer Pistol - $200-300
Needs more research. Interesting for some reason.
Hunkajunk Dbl-bbl percussion pistol - $10
Actually, its Hunkajunk Gun & Bicycle Works Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts
.
Not an uncommon design double barrel pistol Probably 1850s. There's something about it that screams....... (Negro gun)
Basically, they are all old and show it.
Back in the 1950s in the middle of Nowhere, USA were places that had "world's largest rattlesnake" or "indian mummy woman" or Burma shave signs all along the road. So this place had a "gun" collection hanging on the walls of guns collected from the town barber (and undertaker) and that's where they came from.
I agree on the 1851 Colt. NRA Junky condition but people are crazy on Colts. The Stevens is kinda cool but it looks to have been "cleaned" rather severely at one point on the receiver.
Nothing to get crazy about here but its always fun to discover new stuff. There's actually quite a bit of education possible here if you're a student of firearms history.
"Flaydermans's Guide to Antique American Firearms" should be on your bookshelf.
