Look at the third or fourth page, you should find copyright information indicating when it was published. Small catalogs labelled as 1903 or other old dates found at a yard sale are likely recent reprints.
I believe that your Sears shotgun is a Winchester model 37A shotgun that was made for Sears Roebuck And Co,.
Winchester made the Sears Model 200.

This was my first baseball glove. I bought it for $2.66 @ Sears in 1958.
fell the card
All the model 126 BB guns made for sears were made by Crosman. The 4 to 5 numbers that follow the 126 tell you the exact model. Without knowing these numbers I can't tell you exactly what model Crosman it is.
Mossberg,Browning and Winchester are 3 possibles- but contact me with the MODEL number from the rifle, and we can tell.

Tell us a little more. Sears sold a lot of different shotguns and a serial number will not identify it.
on any reprint it will have the year it was reprintedon the back of the card is small type on the side or bottom. If its laminated, dead givaway its a reprint.
Eastern Arms Co. was a trade name used by Sears Roebuck. The guns were manufactured by Meriden Firearms, J. Stevens Arms, and others. How do you tell who manufactured the Ranger?
I think te reprint is probably more modern than the 1999 one.
