The JC Higgins 583.16 is a bolt-action 12ga shotgun made for Sears by High Standard in 1948/1949.
Without a model number and the condition of the gun, impossible to answer.
Hi Standard. Safety recall in effect- gun is unsafe to shoot. Search for Sears Shotgun recall.

Stevens made jc Higgins shotguns ,the model 311 interchanges with the jc Higgins
It's a Stevens 59. If your local gunsmith can't get the bolt, try www.e-gunparts.com Hi you may not ever find a bolt for that shotgun there was a recall on some of the 12ga JC Higgins and all you had to do was send in the bolt and sears sent you $165 so that's may be why it has no bolt now
Which model are you asking about?
Early 1950's
JC Higgins Model 20 Shotgun does not have a serial number. Guns were not required to have a serial number before 1938
Assuming you mean a top break shotgun, there were several models, prices will vary. For a single barreled top break, about $70-$75
Numrich arms West Hurley NY.
$150.
