It may not have one. Assuming yours is a break-action shotgun, they were made by Crescent. Crescent made over 2 million shotguns under about 425 different trade names (American was the name used for guns made for Sears). Shotguns were not required by law to HAVE a serial number until 1968, and your gun was made well before the, HOWEVER- if there is a serial number, it is likely found on the portion of the frame that is covered by the breech end of the barrels. Remove the barrels, and look at the part of the frame that they concealed.

No way to answer- the serial number does not tell us what the gun IS. Please repost with a description of the gun, caliber/ gauge, and condition, and we can give it a shot.
This sounds really odd, but there is a possibility that there are two Auto 5's made with that serial number - no kidding. If the serial number is on the left side of the receiver it is an American Browning made in the USA in 1941. If the gun serial number is on the bottom or the receiver the gun is a Belgian made gun manufactured between November 1957 and April 1958.
This gun was made in 1925
