Diane,
Folks Gun Works of Bryan, OH., was in existence during the late 1800's.I believe (but don't remember for certain) the old fellow committed suicide.After his death, his son took over the business and converted it into a bicycle shop ca 1894 or thereabouts.I am told (depending on the condition of the rifle) the old guns made by Mr. Folk are only worth about $200; but don't take this as gospel from me.That value was about 5 years ago.I believe the Bryan Library has a file on the Folks Gun works.I recommend you contact Jane Kelly through the library web site at http://www.williamsco.lib.oh.us/http://www.williamsco.lib.oh.us/
Jane can make you copies (for a very small fee) of whatever you need from the Folks Gun works file.
Hope this helps.
