    I was lucky enough to get my hands on a rabbit ear shotgun from a private estate that is in excellent condition. Stored in a rifle bag for years and just amazing it has lasted this long. I can't find anything about it or the value. Can someone please help me with this?

    Found this from a 2012 auction...

    E&A became E.E.Eaton based on what I read.

    And I guess with that estimated price, I can't offer you a couple hundred bucks so I could turn it into a ridiculous SBS. :D
