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 sold the "Allstate" for some years, but no photos seem to have surfaced.
Shotguns sold by Sears through years were made by many different manufacturers. It is very difficult to determine value because of the many variables.
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.
Sears officially dropped "Roebuck" from its name in 2018 when it began operating simply as "Sears." The company, originally known as Sears, Roebuck and Company, had been founded in 1893, but the "Roebuck" name gradually became less prominent over the years. The change reflected the company's ongoing efforts to modernize its brand and streamline its identity as it faced financial challenges.
The Model 10125 Sears and Roebuck 410 shotgun was produced in the 1960s to 1980s. Since the specific year of manufacture can vary, it's generally safe to say that these shotguns are likely between 40 to 60 years old as of 2023. To determine the exact age, you would need to look for specific markings or serial numbers on the shotgun.

Sears did sell water skis but did not make them. Most were JC Higggins brand skis.
