A photo and all but the last 2 digits of the serial number would help.

Here's the best answer I could find after Googling "J. C. Higgins Model 45".

"The JC Higgins Model 45 was originally made by Marlin Firearms, and is a variant of the Marlin Glenfield 30A. Marlin made these guns for Sears during the late 1950's through the early 1960's".

Hope that helps. It's at least a start anyway.
