I know that the J C Penny company sold the glenfield model 30A.The otasco company also sold this model.
Glenfield firearms were manufactured by Marlin (many were marked with both names). Cotter & Co was one of the retail hardware stores that sold Glenfield guns and some of them were stamped with the store name.
Glenfield rifles were primarily sold by the Glenfield brand, which was a line of firearms produced by Marlin Firearms Company. Marlin, established in 1870, is known for manufacturing various types of rifles and shotguns, and the Glenfield line included popular models like the Glenfield Model 60. These rifles were often sold through sporting goods stores, gun shops, and various retailers across the United States.
Inexpensive .22 semiauto rifle based on the Marlin Model 60. Sold through mass-market stores.
The Marlin Mod 25 production started around 1966 and is still sold as the 925. For the exact year of production of your firearm you will have to locate dedicated Marlin collectors. Manuals are available by download from Marlin's website: http://www.marlinfirearms.com/customersupport/manuals.aspx If you want an original, try eBay.
the Glenfield name used on the marlin rifle was for mass-merchandisers and chain stores that wanted brand name products to sell. this model you have was made by marlin from 1966-1970. marlin made two variations of this rifle, the change coming in 1969. it should have impressed checking on stock and forearm. As for the JM on the barrel, this is Marlin trade mark. 77,603 were built. these sold for around $100 when they were new. They are real nice rifles, I have a 30A 1st. variation that should look almost like yours except the magizine tube is full length. I wouldn't call it rare, its worth what ever you can get out of it. good solid rifles made by Marlin!
it was designed in 1959, and first sold in 1960, and still being sold today.
this model of rifle was made from 1983-2007,and sold by Wal-Mart only.
Glenfield rifles were usually the hardwood stocked lower-priced Marlin rifles sold at Sears, Western Auto, K-Mart, etc... in the 50's and 60's.
