The example is described as a matching numbers motorcycle and remains in original, unrestored condition.



Puch Sears Allstate Model History

During the 1950s and 1960s, several European manufacturers produced motorcycles that were sold through American department store catalogues. Austrian manufacturer Puch, part of the Daimler-Steyr group, built motorcycles and mopeds that were marketed in the United States under the Sears Allstate brand. These machines combined European engineering with American retail distribution, making them affordable and widely accessible. Today, surviving examples are increasingly collectible for their unusual branding, period styling and historical connection to catalogue retail culture.
