- The highest serial number I have seen is Q139463 probably near the end of the Ted Williams production run which ended in 1978. I have been trying to figure production dates by checking gun auctions and gathering barrel codes and serial numbers and original owner info on the 200 and 300 Ted Williams.
- It is a Ted Williams-edition Sears, Roebuck 8c Co. 12-gauge shotgun, Model M200, 2% in., serial number P21XXX. It is stamped 'Made in USA' and 'No 273.515020.' It also has two stamps that look like 'SP' or 'SB' in a circle. It came with a case (that could be the original soft-case) that has 'Sears' on the label.
- Sears quit selling guns in the 80s- but they did not MAKE the Ted Williams shotguns- they were made by gun makers, and marked with the Sears Brand Name. Post the model number here, may be able to cross reference it, tell you who made it, what model. As he just said up there^^^, you probably have a sport plug in there.

J.C. Higgins Model 20 - 12 Gauge Shotgun - Originally sold by Sears
From 1908 until 1962, Sears, Roebuck & Company sold a wide variety of sporting goods and recreational equipment, including bicycles, golf clubs, rifles, shotguns, and revolvers under the brand name 'J. C. Higgins.' These products were well made and were popular with the company's historical core of rural and working-class consumers.
Like many other Sears products, the Sears firearms were originally made by major firearm manufacturers. The Model 20 was produced by High Standard Arms, as was the Model 88 revolver.
The J.C. Higgins brand for Sears sporting goods was replaced with the Ted Williams brand. Many of the more durable J.C. Higgins products are still available as second hand items.
Free bus driving games. The brand name, J. C. Higgins, was based on a real person, John Higgins who was a Sears employee. He moved from his birth country of Ireland to the United States in his late teens and began working for Sears in 1898. He spent his entire working career with Sears and was Vice President for the company for a period of time. He was actually born with no middle name but the Sears Co. presented the idea of labeling their sporting good line with his name and saw it more presentable labeling the brand as J.C. Higgins. He worked with the company until his retirement as head bookkeeper in 1930. Higgins died in 1950. His expertise in sporting goods or sports is unknown.
