I have a the above gun serial number 186252. The patent dates are MARLIN FIRE ARMS CO., NEW HAVEN, CT. USA----OCT. 11, 1887; APRIL 2, 1889; AUG. 11, 1893.
IT IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE WITH A ROUND BARREL AND 10 SHOT MAGAZINE WITH A PLAIN WALNUT STOCK AND SADDLE RING.
Can anyone shed some light on its value and vintage??

Can't give you a value as I don't guess at firearm values without great pictures.
But date should be 1982. First two digits subtracted from 2000 gives the date.

Marlinman93 I think you may have misread the serial number, 186252. It was born in 1899.
