Somewhere between 1963 and 1980. Sears used the JC Higgins brand through 1962, and quit selling firearms in 1980. The 273 number is NOT a serial number, it is a Sears stock (catalogue) number. If there is no other serial number, would have been manufactured before 1968, when Federal law began to require serial numbers on rifles and shotguns.

I don't know. I have one also, and I am searching right for now for info. Sears did not make any firearms, but retailed firearms made for them under private brand names. Most of the Ted Williams branded guns were actually made by Winchester. If you can provide a model number, which is marked on the gun, we can be more specific. www.countrygunsmith.net
Your rifle was made by Winchester for Sears Roebuck- it is the Winchester 94. Sears sold firearms under their own brand names, such as JC Higgins. Ted Williams, baseball player, permitted his name to be used as a brand on Sears sporting goods. The Sears branded firearms are typically valued at about 20% less than the original brand guns. They are still a very good buy for the money.
No. Some were branded, but, the exact number is unknown.

It was made by Winchester and is their Model 70. Unfortunately, there is not much interest in Winchesters "private branded" products and could be worth only half as much as a Winchester branded rifle. You should take it to a Cabela's "gunroom" and have them look at it but don't get your hopes up. Unless it is a flawless custom stock by a known (or really talented) gunsmith, it will not turn their heads, or anyone elses.
