My buddy sean showed me his 30-30... its a top ejecting Winchester looking rifle but marked SEARS... did Winchester make Sears marked rifles? I thought all theirs were Glenfield/Marlin.

Sears sold a lot of Winchester - made guns in the "Ted Williams" era.
I have seen Model 70 and 94 rifles and 1200 and 1300 shotguns with Ted Williams-Sears trademarks and a few cosmetic changes. I even saw one Winchester 101 over-under made up for Sears.

Does this sound like them-
Bright gold plated receiver & barrel bands, heavy octagon barrel
RIFLE - 26" barrel
CARBINE - 20" barrel

Something like 100K were made. Value today is in the 500-600 range for each. To get that price, they must be NIB, all paperwork, never shot/or action worked, etc.

High Standard also made them for Sears.

Yes to all above

any suggestion on how to clean them?? They look like they could some oil on them since they date back to 1966

My dad was employed at Sears for 44 yrs
Until this year

Thanks for any help:)

A silicone impregnated cloth for the metal would do no harm. If the wood is in need, I would suggest a little BLO (boiled linseed oil) applied with your fingers or a soft flannel cloth.
