Baker Gun Co of Batavia New York 1903 to 1933, then bought out by Crescent Gun Co. After Crescent bought them out they, Crescent, still used the Batavia Leader as a trade name on that gun.
If I read the inscription correctly yours is the Batavia Leader model made by Baker and later by Crescent. Not an import.
As far as value on the Baker, my opinion, If I was still collecting these things, I would put around $200.00 $250.00. Good solid utilitarian double.
