Marlin 1893 .32-40 is a nice old rifle, tang sight adds interest and value. Ammo available if you scout around. Not real powerful but adequate deer rifle if you can shoot.
Savage 1899 (Marked that way means it is pre - WW I) is a classic in the field and .250-3000 Savage is a very respected game calibre. Is it a takedown or solid frame? (If takedown there will be a foreend latch like some shotguns'.)
White Powder Wonder shotgun is a cheap rabbit gun of a bygone era. There was an article in a recent magazine about shooting the old "farm guns" but it might be best to clean it up and hang it on the wall.
Q for Mike, how many secondhand guns have you trotted off to the gunsmith with to have vetted for shootability? Internet posters seem awfully cautious these days, almost like they were afraid they would be liable for somebody's clunker.
Q to gunsmiths, how many secondhand guns do you have brought in to have vetted for shootability? What do you tell your customer about a clean looking but out of production firearm?
