There are signs of use, nicks, scratches, dings, dents, finish loss, normal wear and tear. Nice deep bluing, Vent Rib barrel, after market open rear sight mid barrel. A piece of history you can shoot or collect, great for Dove season to fill your table with meat.


 


This Ted Williams shotgun was manufactured by Winchester as a private label for Sears and Roebuck stores as Ted Williams. It was said that Ted Williams line was known for high quality products all the way back to 1908. In the 1960's it is said to be carried right at Sears. Yes, with no internet or computers, there were mail order catalog and I would say the biggest players of the time were Sears and Montgomery Wards. Both offer firearms in there catalogs/stores, where you would order a new pair of jeans and a shotgun, which of course would be delivered right to your door no paperwork, no background check, sort of how it still is today in Canada, after getting your PAL card. Well 1968 came and changed everything marking the start of how it is today. Likewise, Kmart, Montgomery Wards, Sears, eventually stopped firearm and/or firearm related sales and Ted Williams line was discontinued. I don't know if there are known records of how many private label shotguns ( Ted Williams ) brand were made for Sears, I would guess there were not giant amounts. The wood, jeweled bolt, and markings set it apart from a normal Winchester production line shotgun, including the Ted Williams signature script writing on the barrel.
