newbie topper jr model 490

[liquidliners]

I purchesed this 410 about 25 years ago with my Dad and some grasscutting money and was wondering what it is worth? It is a model 490 with a gold trigger and greenwing stamped on the side. I have a 10 year old son now and would like tohand it down to him and was just wondering? Thanks for the help

 WElcome to the site. I don't have a idea what the 490 is worth!
 But will say it is worth a lot more to your son than what it would bring.
 It is a very good gun for your son to learn to shoot! just my 2 cents.
 Marv.

I have a J. C. Higgins 410 that my Dad bought me for Christmas in about 1950.  Had a cousin that used it as a first gun and my son starting hunting with it too.  No serial number at all back then and its only worth about $15 but I wouldn't sell it for any amount.  Its still used regularly to dispatch snakes and armadillos.

A gun handed down from father to son is priceless. If it's in mint condition maybe $100.00 or a little more if you find the right buyer.

Thanks, I would never sell it just curious. I do rubberized coatings and did my first shotgun barrel the other day and the customer said H&R went out of buisness or changed names and said it might be worth checking into. I think my Dad did a good job teaching me good values and thought I would get my son into it. I had some good times just walking and talking in the woods with my dad. Thanks for the help.
