Sears Roebuck owned the Eastern Arms tradename. Before 1905 they were probably made by Fyrberg Firearms. In 05 Sears bought Fyrberg and established Meriden Firearms Co to manufacture firearms for their retail outlets. In 1915 Stevens bought Meriden and began manufacturing most of the Sears tradenamed long guns, but a revolver would more likely be from Iver Johnson. The plating is probably nickel, not chrome. If it hasn't had much use and hasn't been allowed to rust, it should still be useable but have it checked by an experienced gunsmith before you try it. You might also need a gunsmith to determine exactly which .32 round is appropriate. S&W and Colt each had their own proprietory .32 short and .32 long cartridges which were not interchangeable and it is also possible that the gun is chambered for a .32 rimfire. If it is a rimfire, ammunition is no longer being manufactured. It would have been an inexpensive gun when made and not worth much more in the condition most of these are found today. Have seen similar guns go as low as $25 and, if still like new with the box, as high as $200.
It should be marked on the barrel.
