I googled the model and this one of the answers I got, keep googling it different ways and you should find more.

Answer

The Ranger 34 was a house brand made by Marlin. If you have the bolt action repeater, it's either a Marlin Model 80C, made 1940-'70, or a Model 780, made 1971-1988. If it's an autoloader, it is a Model 50 or 50E, made 1931-35. If there is no serial number, it was made prior to the 1968 gun control act. Even the Marlin named Model 80C and 780 are worth less than $100 in perfect condition. A Model 50 or 50E could go to $150. But, your gun is a Marlin made house gun, not a nmed Marlin, and loses value for that reason.
