It's more like who made guns for Sears. J C HIGGINS is a brand name for SEARS. To give you an example. Both Daisy and Crosman air guns made air guns for Sears under the J C Higgins name. So did Marlin and several other gun companies make rifles, guns and shotguns. Sears stopped selling guns and rifles in the early 80's.
Sears never made guns. They contracted other gun manufactures to make guns for them under the Sears name. They started selling guns around 1892 and stopped in1988
Sometime between the mid 1940s and early 1970s.
Sears discontinued the sale of all firearms in 1980
The J.C. Higgins brand was used by Sears for hunting and fishing equipment since WWII until 1961 when it was replaced by the Ted Williams brand. There are no records of serial numbers available for the Sears firearms.
JC Higgins never made shotguns. That is a Sears model number. Shotguns were made by other companies using the Sears brand name- JC Higgins. Yours is likely a High Standard shotgun. If it has no serial number (most did not) it was made prior to 1968. Serial numbers were not required by law until then.
