Who manufactured witte rifles .22 LR?

Witte Hardware was a large business that lasted from about 1880 to 1983. At one time it was common for MANY gunmakers to make guns for others, using the purchaser's brand names. Examples of this include the Sears JC Higgins brand, the Montgomery Wards Western Field, and Western Auto's Revelation brands. In some cases, like Witte, Shapleigh Hardware, Gambles Store- the store name was used. These guns were made by Stevens/Savage, Mossberg, Marlin, Winchester, Noble- and many others. Many of these may not have a specific model (I have 2 Gambles Store Pioneer rifles, and it took 5 years to match them to original make/ model) Most of these rifles did not have serial numbers, indicating they were made before this was required in 1968. Personally, I like these guns. They were a "working man's gun"- inexpensive but sound, made to be an everyday shooter- and a reminder of a time when just about every store had a gun department.
