I could take the time to look this model number up in the cross reference, determine the actual manufacturer, then look up that manufacturer's model to see what kind of action it has, and then give a range of values. But you can just go to Walmart or a sporting goods store and find a similar utility shotgun. Figure your used gun is worth about half as much in usable condition and possibly 3/4 as much if it is in nearly-new condition.
Check the receiver and barrel.
Without a model number and the condition of the gun, impossible to answer.
The JC Higgins 28-gauge shotgun was manufactured by the High Standard Manufacturing Company. It was marketed by Sears, Roebuck and Company under the JC Higgins brand from the late 1940s to the 1960s. The exact number of JC Higgins 28GA shotguns produced is not well-documented, making it difficult to provide a specific figure. However, they are considered relatively rare compared to other models from the era.
on the receiver Serial numbers were not required on longarms prior to 1969 and most of the manufacturers of utility and 'catalog store' guns did not use them.
JC Higgins Model 60 shotguns generally trade in the $150-$200 range. www.countrygunsmith.net
Most J.C. Higgins will sell for under $300. As for serial numbers, I can't find a serial on my 583.55, so I'm going to assume they weren't numbered.
This is the code number for a "Crosman" model 180 air rifle. Both Crosman and Daisy made air Rifles for Sears under the JC Higgins name.
JC Higgins was a trade name used by Sears and Roebuck in the 1960's and 1970's. The model 150 was a popular model and were youth or children's gloves.
Exact year cannot be determined from data given. 583.91 is not a serial number, but a Sears model number.
My understanding is that the first true gas operated automatic shotgun was sold by Sears & Roebuck in 1955 as the J.C. Higgins Model 60 and was manufactured by High Standard.
No way to answer. Which shotgun? We need a model number- Sears sold shotguns for over 80 years, and there were a LOT of different guns, different values.
