Western Auto used several trade names for firearms, including "Revelation," "Western Field," and "J.C. Higgins." These brands typically encompassed a range of products including shotguns, rifles, and ammunition, often produced by other manufacturers but sold under Western Auto's labels. The Revelation line, in particular, was known for its budget-friendly firearms during the mid-20th century.
The Western Auto company did not MAKE firearms, but like many retailers, had firearms made under their name by gun makers such as Savage, Marlin, Springfield, etc.
Proofhouse.com has a store brand chart that might help. Usually Western Auto store brand firearms were utilitarian. Good, serviceable firearms.
Doesn't exist anymore.
Westernfield was the trade name used by Montgomery Ward for firearms sold by them. They were made by different makers- Winchester, Marlin, Savage, Mossberg, etc. Sears did the same thing under the JC Higgins name, Western Auto under the Revelation name, etc.
Well, Western Auto never made guns. I believe your Model 207 was made by Marlin, as their Model 336 Carbine, and marked with the Western Auto Revelation brand. Western Auto seems to have dropped out of the firearms business by the 1980's.

The Ranger .22 long rifle was manufactured by the Ranger brand, which was a trade name used by the Western Auto Supply Company. The rifles were produced in the mid-20th century, often sourced from various manufacturers, including Marlin and Stevens. Ranger firearms were typically sold through Western Auto's retail outlets.
Revelation was the "store brand" used by Western Auto stores. Several companies made guns for Western Auto, and marked them with the Revelation brand rather than Winchester, Savage, Marlin, High Standard. etc.

The Western Auto Model 205 30-30 was manufactured by Marlin Firearms Company between 1946 and 1950. Therefore, it would be around 70-75 years old.
At one time, companies such as Winchester, Marlin, Savage, Mossberg, etc, made firearms marked with the trade names of Sears, Montgomery Ward, Western Auto, JC Penney, etc. We would need more information to give you an exact answer (like the markings on the rifle), but most were roughly in the $150-$250 range, depending on condition. BTW, it is Mauser, not Mouser.
