Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
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 Like many other Sears products, the Sears firearms were originally made by major firearm manufacturers.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 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.
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 goods 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.
The J.C. Higgins Model 583.2 shotgun is a distinguished piece of American firearm history, known for its solid construction and classic design. Manufactured for Sears, Roebuck and Co., this bolt-action shotgun is chambered in 16 gauge and accommodates 2 3/4" shells, making it versatile for various hunting applications. It features a 26" barrel with a full choke, which enhances its accuracy and range. The shotgun’s traditional blue finish has gracefully aged to a brown patina, adding character and a sense of nostalgia. It is equipped with a fixed brass bead front sight for improved aiming precision and sports a smooth walnut stock that completes the overall look and feel of a classic shotgun.
