The JC Higgins 583.16 is a bolt-action 12ga shotgun made for Sears by High Standard in 1948/1949.
Without a model number and the condition of the gun, impossible to answer.
Hi Standard. Safety recall in effect- gun is unsafe to shoot. Search for Sears Shotgun recall.

It's a Stevens 59. If your local gunsmith can't get the bolt, try www.e-gunparts.com Hi you may not ever find a bolt for that shotgun there was a recall on some of the 12ga JC Higgins and all you had to do was send in the bolt and sears sent you $165 so that's may be why it has no bolt now
Stevens made jc Higgins shotguns ,the model 311 interchanges with the jc Higgins
Which model are you asking about?
JC Higgins Model 20 Shotgun does not have a serial number. Guns were not required to have a serial number before 1938
Early 1950's
Assuming you mean a top break shotgun, there were several models, prices will vary. For a single barreled top break, about $70-$75
Numrich arms West Hurley NY.
Just about any economy single-shot shotgun, including yours, would top out at $100.
