Anyone have a link or know how to Cross reference the Sears labeled model 53 Winchester 70 rifles serial numbers to APPROXIMATE years of manu.
Some were also labeled Ted Williams.
Made by Winchester and labeled as Sears model 53 and some as Ted Williams.
Think most were push feed and probably post 64 produced??????

    Might help, if you posted partial serial number. And sears I.D. number, which was a series of numerals, divided by a period.

    Okie, all the Sears branded guns, had Sears serial numbers, apart from Winchester serial numbers, and to date, no known database has been discovered.

    The Sears Model 53 superseded the Model 51L made by High Standard.   The first appearance of the Model 53 was in the 1964 Fall Winter  Sears catalog but was not called Model 53 in the catalogs until the Fall Winter 1965 catalog.  Sears stopped cataloging guns in 1969 catalog and stopped selling guns about 1983-4.  The Ted Williams version appeared in the Fall Winter 1965 catalog .  The Model 53 in the 1965 Fall Winter catalog was$116.95 and was available in .30-06, .270, .308, and .243.  The Ted Williams version was $159.95 and was available in .30-06 and .270
