That would be the Henry. The company still exists. If you mean the Henry rifle from the Civil War, then most lever action rifles are somewhat related, including the Henry Big Boy / Yellow Boy and the Winchester 94, but none are exact copies.
If your Winchester model 1894 Bicentennial carbine is unfired,and still has the box and hang tags,then the value is 795.00 dollars.If it has been fired and without the box and tags,then it will range from 250-500 dollars.
Yes i believe that Winchester has resumed production of their model 1894 lever action rifle.They are not cheap.I saw some that were made by Miroku of japan for 1,200 dollars.But I believe that Winchester is producing new models at their new plant in South Carolina.

I am 45 years old. When I was ~10, or in 1973 my father purchaced a lever action Ithaca 22 caliber rifle for me. I still have the rifle, It is one of our familys favorite guns.
I believe you are asking about an air rifle made by Daisy air gun co. Made for Sears under the JC Higgins name. From your description I believe it is a model 1894 BB rifle. ( it looks like a Winchester 30 30 if I am right) If so then yes there is value in it But it all depends on the condition of the rifle. Is it still working? is it in Excellent, Very good, Good, Fair, or Poor condition?
the ammunition would be the 25-20 Winchester center fire (25-20 WCF). ammunition is still manufactured by Winchester for this rifle.
If it has never been fired, never had the action cycled, is still in the origianl box with all paperwork, in the 700-900 range.
your winchester commemorative rifle which was made in 1968,is valued at 595 dollars if it is unfired and still with the rifle,s box in which it was issued.
The biggest difference is that Winchester went from a controlled round feed(Mauser type) to a push pull feed(with out the mauser claw)type of feed action.this was done to cut the cost of production.This system is still in use today,but over time Winchester and other gun manufacturers have learned that there is still a great demand for the original controlled round feed of the mauser design.Especially with dangerous game chambered firearms.
The original design which became the Winchester lever action started as the Hunt's Patent in 1848. The "Rocket Ball" ammunition (caliber unknown but likely around .45) was a hollow lead bullet with powder inside and an external primer. The design was improved by Lewis Jennings from 1849 to 1852 and manufactured until 1852 when production ceased and the investors lost their money. The cartridge was still a hollow lead projectile with powder inside. Horace Smith & Daniel B. Wesson worked on the design starting 1854 and produced the lever action "Volcanic" pistol. In 1855, the company was reformed as the Volcanic Repeating Arms company. In 1856, Smith & Wesson left the company and Oliver Winchester became a major stock holder. By 1857, the company was insolvent and Winchester bought out all company assets and renamed the company the New Haven Arms Company. The factory foreman, B. Tyler Henry, improved the design as a rifle and perfected a .44 cal self contained rim fire catridge. The rifle was christened the "Henry" and manufactured from 1860 through 1866. In that year, the company was renamed the Winchester Repeating Arms Company.
