Best Answer

Your Spencer Gun Co shotgun isa "Trade Brand Name" shotgun. That is a shotgun made by a major maker usually for a wholesaler or retailer who chose the name to go on the gun. In this case the gun was probably made by the Crescent Fire Arms Company of Norwich,CT (1892 to 1932) the largest maker ever of such guns. It was made for and sold at wholesale by the Hibbard Spencer Bartlett Co of Chicago, a large dealer in sporting goods. Best guess on a date would be sometime between 1910 and 1925.

What is the value of a 12 gauge Spencer Gun Co single shot serial 197164 YM?

The company that produced the Spencer rifle was the Spencer Arms Company, not the Spencer Gun Company, and they manufactured a slide action shotgun, not a single shot. It is possible that you have a post war conversion of a Spencer rifle, but not likely. It is most likely a low budget import from Belgium, marked to look like it had a better pedigree than it deserves. Value is minimal as a curiosity.
