I have a Winchester Model 240W Westernfield "12 ga." (not 20ga.) shotgun. It was a knockoff of the Winchester model 1400, made for Montgomery Wards. I've seen them sell anywhere between $200 and $250 depending on condition.
your model 12 Winchester shotgun was made in 1924.
Your shotgun was made for Montgomery Wards (marked with their brand- Westernfield) by Mossberg, and is their model 550. As far as age- no way to tell. IF your shotgun does not have a serial number, it would have been made prior to 1968. <><><> Note to previous poster- Sears did not use the Westernfield brand- that belonged to Montgomery Wards. They DID use J.C. Higgins and Ted Williams as brand names.
