Yes, as a matter of fact, I sold my first one this year!! It looked like the one in the second photo, "The Elmore."
The dead giveaway was the 'seam' down the middle of the framing in the crawl space. Very solid house, according to the SE too!

I represented a buyer of a home we were told was a kit home but it was not authenticated and when I represented this buyer as a seller it was not a part of the marketing.

Third one down, have sold one of those three times over the years.. the same one. A big barn on a Dyer Brook farm came in on a train from Sears too and has a unique round not Gambrel roof line! Sears peddled everything! When the catalog was king before amazon.com.
