Sears sold firearms for over 100 years. Most were made by other companies (Remington, Savage, Marlin, Mossberg, etc.) for Sears but marked with the Sears trade names of J C Higgins or Ted Williams.
Even Sears & Roebuck did and never did make guns, theirs and JC Higins were made by Remenington No. JC Higgins was just a brand name used by Sears Roebuck on guns made by Stevens, Mossberg, and other manufacturers. The same companies made the same guns for the Gambles hardware chain, so there are identical models marked with different retailers' names.

It is marked on the barrel and begins 583. xxx
the 583.75 was roll marked on 11/4/1952
Sears Roebuck co.
Made for Sears by High Standard around 1952. Good utility shotgun, only brings $150 or so on the market, but a solid shooter nonetheless. sales@countrygunsmith.net
