They were good, solid field guns built for Sears, Roebuck & Co. May still be usable with low-pressure modern shells, but not until a good gunsmith checks it over first. Value up to $300 depending on condition.

AJ Aubrey shotguns were made by the Meriden Firearms Co which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sears, Roebuck & Co, for sale in the Sears catalog between 1905-1918. Good serviceable shotguns which can bring up to $400 today in excellent condition. Dont attempt to shoot it until you get it checked out by a gunsmith.
New Aubrey is a trade name used by Albert Aubrey of Meriden, Ct on good quality double barrel shotguns made for Sears. Value depends on condition, grade, and model. Price range between $100 and $1500. Seek an expert appraisal prior to sale.
I found Eastern Arms Co. as being made by Meriden Arms Co. owned by A. J. Aubrey. Eastern Arms were sold by Sears Roebuck & Co. Ken G - You are right and wrong. Meriden Arms did make guns with the Eastern Arms name, but the company was owned by Sears. A J Aubrey was an executive with another firearms manufacturer (Parker Brothers, I believe) that Sears hired to manage the company. The company only existed from 1905 or 1907 until 1915 or 1918 (different sources, different dates). I don't think a gun marked "Model 1929" was made by Meriden. I'm still looking for that model number by another manufacturer. There's a question about a WYCO Model 1929 down at the bottom of this page, too, and I suspect it is the same gun.
