I believe your Westerfield rifle was made for Montgomery Wards stores by Mossberg as their model 346K. These were made from about 1958-1971. If your rifle has no serial number, it was made prior to 1968. That was the first year that Federal law required serial numbers on rifles.
Your Sears model 54 is a Winchester model 1894 rifle that was made for sears.If Winchester used the same serial number sequence as their serial numbers for the Model 1894,then your rifle was made in the year 1955.
The first 2 numbers are the year of manufacture of your Marlin rifle(72046507)indicates 1972.
