If you're talking about one for sale in the States, Bonehill targeted the American market pretty heavily in the late 19th century. They used more 'modern' manufacturing processes--that is to say, more machine work--on some of their guns than did a lot of the British makers. Hard to say how much it's worth without knowing more about it, as well as the condition.
Bonehill would be a good place to start. It's a well-known name and likely can be had for less money than more prestigious makers. Feel So Lonely Emptiness Mp3 Download. If it's marked either 'Belmont' or 'Interchangeable', that would indicate that it's one of their guns involving more machine work and less hand work.

Bonehill was a very prolific gun maker. His guns could be had in many 'grades' from simple to very ornate, not only the Belmont, he also produced a model called the Eclipse (an opening lever hammer cocker). On top of that he'd put almost any desired name on his products. I happen to have some old catalogues of Bonehill products. Post some pics and I will go through them, won't be much help with to-days prices.

Kolhoznik, I can give you an estimate based on some assumptions.
Bonehill is rated as Brand Value level three (BV3) by the market. Bonehill, like virtually all makers, offered a wide range of Original Quality grades (OQ). One can't define quality by maker name or rate makes by quality. License Key Of Burnaware Professional License. Bonehill was perfectly capable of producing a 'best work' gun if anyone offered them a commission to do so. Note that the Brit gun trade had many out-workers, workers not in regular employment, who were well know for 'best work.'
Any maker lacking a particular skill with in-workers at best work level could easily get the work done by contracting with the appropriate out-worker. That said, lets assume the gun in question is a mid-grade boxlock ejector, that would be Original Quality grade six (OQ6). Very few guns have remained in pristine condition, so it makes sense to rate Current Condition level (CC). Assume the GIQ can be described as having 'significant use.'
Then we can call it Current Condition level three (CC3). These three factors give sufficient information for fairly accurate estimate. BV3-OQ6-CC3 = $2,300 Remember, BV is known, but OQ and CC are assumed. One grade or level either way will make several hundred dollars difference in valuation.

Kolhoznik, I have been shooting a hammerless C.G.
Bonehill SLE for the past year. Mine is in the 145000 serial # range. I have found the quality to be quite good. It has very nice balance and is a lot of fun to shoot. I think that if you acquire the gun that you are looking at you will enjoy shooting it. The only quirk that I have noticed with my gun is that it does not like all types of shells.
