ok so I was handed this rifle and I am wondering if anyone has any clue about it's age and worth.
Sears roebuck Ted Williams model 100 30-30 ser#273.532140
V115356

thanks in advance
 
Is it a lever action? Sounds like it's a relabeled Winchester 94.

Not sure about age. Price depends a great deal on condition.
 
it's a lever action and yes it's identical to the winchester the conditions is close to excellent..

Ted Williams Model 100 is indeed a Winchester Model 94. It's value depends entirely on the condition. Worth roughly $300.
 
It's a "post-64" New Model 94. This limits its collector value, which is reduced even more by being marked "Ted Williams" instead of Winchester. In like-new condition it might bring $300. I have one of these that belonged to my late Father-in law. Besides the sentimental value, it's just too handy to get rid of.
 
thanks for the info guys I really appreciate it. apparently my Brother-inlaw wants to keep it which is great , because he'll put it in his cabin for safe keeping and it's a great gun in excellent condition the stock has maybe one scratch on it and not one bit of pitting or rust..
 
This harkens back to the day when large department stores such as Sears, Wards, JCPenney, etc., promoted their own brand name logos on sporting goods and guns.
As I recall, Ted Williams was the J. C. Penny brand.
Cabelas kind of does the same thing with scopes, bows, and other stuff. jd
 
Ted Williams was a Sears brand along with Ranger and J.C. Higgins. I think Penny's were marked Penny's. Revelation was a Western Auto brand.
 
absolutely , the sears roebuck co. used the Ted Williams name for a whole array of outdoor sporting stuff. I actually just sold a boat with a Ted Williams 5hp motor.. I remember buying it and saying wow that thing is as old as I am and of course it was , it's a 1968..
I really wish my brother-in-law wanted to sell me the rifle it's in mint condition.
 
I have the same rifle, just to add my two cents, even though it is a rebadged winchester, the parts are not completely interchangeable
 
About what year did they go from being JC Higgins to Ted Williams? I have a JC Higgins Model 20 12 gauge of unknown year and I have a 1961 JC Higgins Mainliner Bicycle so it must have after 61 anyway.
 
not too sure but JC Higgins was a manufacturer that made rifles for many brand lines including Marlin.
The Ted Williams line was just a marketing brand through sears. They branded many sporting goods with Ted's name from 64 til around 1980 apparently.
 
JC Higgins was a brand name invented by Sears to market it's sporting goods line. The gun products were made by other companies like High Standard, Winchester, and Remington.
 
Sears & Roebuck's "lower" entry grade guns were usually branded "Sears".

The next step up, were the "J.C.Higgins" marked guns.

The "top-of-the-line" @ Sears were marketed as "Ted Williams".

The lowest grades usually had uncheckered non-walnut stocks; the Higgin's were sometimes checkered non-walnut; and the T.W.'s had pressed-checkered walnut stocks.

The various makers, who stamped their guns for Sears, was: Antonio Zoli, Boito, CBC, Cooey, FIE, High Standard, H&R, Ithaca, Laurona, Marlin, Mossberg, Sako, Savage (Stevens/Springfield), Voere, & Winchester.
