My understanding is that the first true gas operated automatic shotgun was sold by Sears & Roebuck in 1955 as the J.C. Higgins Model 60 and was manufactured by High Standard.
JC Higgins Model 60 shotguns generally trade in the $150-$200 range. www.countrygunsmith.net

Sears was headquartered in Chicago, but Laurona is in Eibar, Spain. Their double barrels list all the way from $150 for a Model 67 in 60% to $5000 for a Model 802 Eagle in 100% new condition, so more information is required to determine the value. I doubt if a shotgun sold through Sears will be one of the top grades, but it could still be worth several hundred dollars.
The gun says 16 gauge model 101.40 Sears and Roebuck Co. purchased 51 years ago. I have it in my hand! 2 3/4 inch chamber selected forged steel with 28 inch barrel full chokeThe sears model 101.40 was made for sears by stevens.The stevens model 940 is the same firearm.These were made in the early-mid 1960,s.the value of these shotguns depending on overall condition range from 60-130 dollars.
It was most likely built by Harrington and Richardson for sears from 1945-1955. It should fetch from $60-$100 depending on condition.
I have been told that these guns are worth about $75 to $150 and were made by Winchester in the 60's.
The "583" indicates a gun made for Sears by either Hi Standard or Harrington & Richardson, but I don't show a direct hit on the "600" part of the number. And to confuse things a bit more, A JC Higgins Model 60 cross-references to a Sears Model 60 - that's almost as helpful as saying a V8 Impala is a V8 Chevy! I can tell you that the JC Higgins name was used for Sears sporting goods from 1908 through 1960. A store-branded shotgun will bring about 2/3 as much as the same gun marked with the manufacturer's name, and a Hi Standard autoloading shotgun will be hard-pressed to bring $300 in top condition.Answeri have the same gun given to me by my gradfather. we have the same gun numbers and everything/. he told me the gun was bought in the mid 1930s. don't know the price on it.\\ The 583.600 was the last of the model 60's and was probably introduced in mid to late 1956. After Novemner 1956, there would be an assembly date code on the barrel. Most cross references for the sears guns made for High Stadanrd are not correct.This link shows when the gun was offered in the Sears catalog. 1030 iis way tooo earlyhttp://www.histandard.info/PDF/Sears%20Shotguns.pdf
