The J.C. Higgins Model 88, which was produced by High Standard for Sears, was manufactured during the late 1950s to early 1960s. Specifically, serial number 583.881 indicates it was likely made around 1958. However, exact production dates can vary, as records from that time are not always precise.
If it marked JC Higgins, that Is a Savage model 96 made for Sears. If it does not have a serial number, it was made before 1968,
The JC Higgins Model 45, chambered in .35 Remington, was produced during the 1950s. The serial number can help determine the specific year of manufacture, as these rifles were made by High Standard for Sears. Generally, you can obtain a more precise date by consulting specific serial number charts or resources dedicated to JC Higgins firearms.
your shotgun was made in 1947 guns made back then were not required to have a serial no. It was not until the Federal gun control act of 1968 that rifles or shotguns were required by federal law to have a serial number.J C Higgins brand guns were sold from 1945 to 1962 You will never see a J C Higgins rifle or shotgun with a factory serial number.
High Standard shotguns made before 1969 did not have serial numbers except for some exported models and the Model 10-A bullpup. Your shotgun has no serial number.
That's not a serial number- it is a model number. Made prior to 1968. serial numbers not required- and cannot be dated for that reason. Sorry.

You first have to determine who made the rifle since JC Higgins was a brand name used by Sears. Sears purchased rifles from several different manufacturers (Winchester, High Standard, and Marlin to name a few) and had their name (Sears or JC Higgins) applied. When you have determined who actually made the gun, a JC Higgins marked model is worth about 10-20% less than the manufacturer's model.
What year was the JC Higgins model number 10116 made in
Sears' JC Higgins Model 25 is the High Standard model A1041 .22 auto
Stevens made jc Higgins shotguns ,the model 311 interchanges with the jc Higgins
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.
JC Higgins never made shotguns. That is a Sears model number. Shotguns were made by other companies using the Sears brand name- JC Higgins. Yours is likely a High Standard shotgun. If it has no serial number (most did not) it was made prior to 1968. Serial numbers were not required by law until then.
