marlin made afew of there rifles Dozens of US manufacturers and some foreign companies have made guns marked with various Sears trade names. I doubt if a complete list can ever be compiled, but some of the major US companies include Crescent, Davenport, Fyrberg, Meriden (owned by Sears), Iver Johnson, J. Stevens, Savage, Harrington & Richardson, Marlin, and High Standard. Many Sears shotguns in the 1950's to 80's were actually Winchester products. From the late 1800's to about WWI, many were imported from Belgium.
Sears Roebuck did not make quality guns, they made affordable guns so its condition is everything! 100.00 - 150.00 tops! Best luck!

Sears never made any guns. They were private labeled for Sears by gun manufacturers Sears guns are usually almost identical to a manufacturer's model, but I believe this particular one was made by Hi Standard to Sears' specifications and there was no equivalent gun with the manufacturer's name.
Sears, Wards, JC Penney and Western Auto used a variety of gun makers to make guns for them. Companies like Mossberg, Savage, Hi Standard, Stevens, Colt and Marlin all made company guns for these stores
Sears did not. They had guns made by other companies for them, having them mark the guns with the Sears Brand. Known as "hardware" guns, the practice was used for the Sears JC Higgins brand, Montgomery Ward's Westernfield brand, Western Auto's Revelation brand, etc. Very common practice at one time. Guns were made by Savage, Marlin, Mossberg, Winchester, High Standard, Remington, etc.
Sears branded guns were made by many different manufacturers. You would have to figure out who made it and what model that is from that manufacturer. One of the best parts sources for older guns is the Numrich company.
I believe that your Sears shotgun is a Winchester model 37A shotgun that was made for Sears Roebuck And Co,.
