...and my favorite item which I couldn’t afford and never owned, an Allstate motor scooter.

For all intents and purposes, the Allstate scooter was a re-badged Vespa...the motorcycle was a re-badged Puch.

I have a matching set of jc Higgins English racers in almost new condition. They’ve been hung up in a garage for over 40 years.

Well,with a few exceptions virtually everything Sears sold was rebadged. The scooter I had in mind was more primitive than the Vespa. It may have been manufactured by Cushman but not sure. Btw, my dream scooter was the Cushman Eagle, sort of a hybrid between a scooter and motorcycle.
