RW 21667, no model 12 stamp anywhere, would like to get info so i can date her and put her into the small but growing collection. serial seems to be to low to get date info on remington site.

Your 12 was made in 1910.

thank you, i appreciate your help. how or where did you get the info? I knew it was post 1909 because the patent pending said 1909. do they have a high value or should i keep it in the sunday shooter case?

I have records straight from Remington. Early 12s are a little bit more desirable. 22 long rifle only, 22 short only, steel magazine tube instead of brass are all things that make them more sought after. As of value oddity and condition are your biggest factors. I would say a 12-A standard round barrel with all the normal options in 90% or better condition would be in the $650. to $700. range. This is being graded on a scale where 100% is brand new. Some people grade on a age curve. Stay away from those people.
