May have been made by Andrew Fyrberg & Sons Mfg, Iver Johnson's Arms & Cycle Works, or J. Stevens Arms for Sears sometime between the 1890s and c. 1950. A single shot .410 will sell for $50-$150 and a double $200-$300, depending on condition.
There was no company with that name. Crescent, Davenport, Stevens, and Pieper (Belgium) all furnished firearms for Shapleigh Hardware with variations of the Central Arms name.
The R-P" probably is "RF" for rimfire ammo. Since .32 rimfire is hard to find, this can cut the guns value unless it is in good enough condition for a collector to grab it. The Model 26 came in .22, .32 (and maybe .25 -- can't recall for sure). It followed the Model 16 Crackshot, which used a thumb lever rather than an under-trigger lever to open the action. The Model 26 was made 1912 to 1939 as one of many Stevens boys' rifles. Less popular than the Favorite (with which it is often confused), in average condition it is worth about $130 to $160.
If it is marked "Utica Arms Co.", compare it to a Crescent Model 6 (1903-1930) or a J. Stevens Arms Co early Model 311 (after 1920). The Stevens might even be marked "5000", "5100" or "311" on the receiver. If marked "Utica Firearms Co." or "Utica Special" it should be the Crescent Model 6. Those marked "Utica Firearms Co. London Fluid Steel" are also by Crescent, but should have outside hammers and could date back to 1892, but probably made no later than 1914. With the mark "Utica Fire Arms Co. Pat. Nov. 25, '90, March 29, '97" it was made by Hopkins & Allen Mfg Co. (1868-1898, but the patent date would indicate these guns were made in 1897 and 1898) I'm not sure if these were single or double barrel guns. All were made for Simmons Hardware 1875-1940
