A number of factors determine the value of a rifle. One fact or factor, in this case, is that the rifles have consecutive serial numbers and that increases the value to some. Other factors are; how low are the serial numbers, pre-war manufacture or date of manufacture, condition of the firearm, appearance, condition of the wood, sights, saddlering carbine model.
Determine your items serial numbers and then research the date of manufacture specific to the numbers. That will help.
Go online and research auction prices for similar items.
Get review from a gunsmith as to such factors.
Watch fingerprints and keep it clean and oiled, and safe.

Your Winchester model 60A was made between the years 1932-1939.The rifles of that time were not required to have serial numbers,and Winchester chose not to serial number the model 60 series of rifles.The law was not changed until the passage of the gun control act of 1968,mandating that all firearms be serial numbered.
with the serial number that you supplied,your Winchester model 55 was made in the year 1930.Winchester model 55 rifles had there own serial numbers,and also were serial numbered in the model 1894 rifles serial numbers.Yours is the later which was serial numbered in the model 1894 serial number range.Yours was one of only 1,535 model 55 rifles made in 1930.
It could be because sequential serial numbers would have allowed someone to collect a sample of rifles and then estimate the total number produced.
400-1000 USD or so

Yes, the Sears Model 54 was made by Winchester and used the Winchester Model 54 serial numbers. Your serial number puts the rifle at being made in 1930 or 1931.
