ericlb: link below is one place to start, but in general, it's going to be difficult to determine much about an old muzzleloading shotgun as they were so common and relatively easy to make that there were hundreds if not thousands of small manufacturers producing them. Often the locks were purchased (and may have some identifying marks of their own) and the rest was made locally. As such, the value, especially with a shattered stock and laminated barrels, is probably minimal--scrap price or close--and, as mentioned, it's best used as a wallhanger, as any attempt to actually fire it could easily result in damage to the gun or the shooter. If you do find a brand on it somewhere, this link gives a number of "store brand" names that were often found on many of the cheap shotguns of the late 18th and early 19th century that were mass-produced and sold at many general stores.
