Everyone except me, seems to make the mistake that W-G made products for Sears. There must've been some bad blood between W-G and Sears.
Sears buyers were known to cut the price per unit, after the firm set up a line for their product.
I have a Wells Gardner badged model 0CM, built in Sept 1935. A fine performing, interesting set.
