Rodgers Arms Co was a trade name used by the the Hood Firearms Co of NY on shotguns made for sale by hardware stores. Hood is better known for mass production of inexpensive revolvers under a wide range of brand names in the post Civil War 19th century.

Depending on condition $30 was probably about right.
