Sears no longer sells JC Higgins. But you can still find used ones at gunshows or on the net. All of the JC Higgins guns were made by other gun makers but used the "Brand name" JC Higgind for Sears. Even the JC Higgins air guns (BB Guns) were all made by Daisy or Crosman air gun company. The same went for Wards.
In sears
i want to know how much a 1908 sears and roebuck catalog is worth.

The best place to try and find copies of catalogs for T. Eatons and Sears Roebuck from 1960 is online. Sites like eBay and Craigslist are most likely to have them.
The Sears 200 series = Winchester 1200. Parts should be available from e-gunparts.com if you can't find them locally.
