100 USD or so.
We must know the manufacturer, model, exposed hammers or not, and the condition of the gun...The rest is easy...The manufacturer and model will be stamped or engraved on the metal somewhere What is the manfacturer, model and condition of the gun...the rest is easy...
Your gun was made between 1880 and 1914, probably by Henri Pieper. If the name is actually Rickard (with a K instead of an H), it was probably retailed by J A Rickard Co of Schenectady, NY. Chrome and laminated barrels don't belong on the same gun. Except for a few custom-made shotguns, laminated barrels were not produced after the 1920s and chrome was not used until the 1940s. The plating was added after manufacture. I must have been short of sleep when I posted that. The finish is probably a nickel plating which would be appropriate for a firearm of this age.

I have a partial answer and plan to submit a question. Ithaca hammer shotguns with serial #'s below 33011 were produced before 1899. I have a hammer double barrel stagecoach shotgun with serial # 15864. I will post a question to find out its age.
If it is stamped and stamped only you want there is no cheap way. Do not try this yourself if you have no concrete experience. Less expensive decorative options are available including exposed, color, broomed, paving stones, etc. For a real decorative look mix a couple of designs. For example an exposed border and broom finish interior looks sharp and can be dressed up with some color.
if you mean materials used to make cars say in 1918: alot of wood for interiors, stamped metal for bodies, and glass for lighting and windshields. in say 1970,s alot of stamped metal,more vinyl for interiors, molded plastics,and laminated plastics wil tempered glass for windshields. today, 2009, alot of molded plastics inside and out, alot of very thin steel, laminated windshields, tupperware bumpers ,etc, and aluminium.
This name doesn't appear on any of the usual lists of manufacturers or trade-names. London Laminated Steel does not necessarily mean it was made in London. It probably dates from about 1890-1915 and during this time it was common for individual retailers to order shotguns with their own store's name stamped on them.
Between $50 and $250 depending on manufacture date, style and condition. They were made between 1880 and 1930. "Higher end" models included a checkered walnut stock and laminated steel barrels. They were overall an economy grade shotgun, originally made by Crescent Firearms then sold to many other companies and stores who stamped they're particular name on the gun. Hope this helps
