That was made for Sears by High Standard. That model was not catalogued by High Standard under their own name.

Sears bought many guns from High Standard, Marlin, Savage/Stevens, etc. and "store-badged" them either "J C Higgins," "Ted Williams," or simply, "Sears."

Ted Williams was a baseball player who lent his name to Sears sporting goods, anf J C Higgins was actually a Sears accounting executive.

Sears also owned a controlling interest in High Standard at one point before deciding to exit the firearms market for good.

HTH,
