Pioneer Gambles Store Model 27A .22 caliber rifflePioneer was the brand name used by Gambles Store for the rifles made for them by Savage/ Springfield/ Stevens. These are known as "Hardware" guns, from the period when many hardware stores, Western Auto, etc sold guns. The Model 27A may be the Savage/Stevens Model 87 (before 1948, model 087). There is no major collectors interest in them, but they are good utility grade hunting rifles. The extremely slender stock and wrist make them very nice first rifles for young people. They have been out of production for some time now, limited parts may be available from gunpartscorp.com, value $50-75, depending on condition. I have 2 of the Gambles Store rifles- the grandkids love them.
I have a "Pioneer Model 26 Gamble Stores Incorporated" bolt action 22 rifle. It belonged to my father. He's 87 now - he bought it new when he was 12 in Deadwood, South Dakota. Hope that gives you some timeline. Mine is now 65 years old.
The 59a was made from 1938 - 1947.
it is possible,but my research shows that your Smith and Wesson model 586 was made in the year 1989.Smith and Wesson did not delete the square butt on the model 586 until 1995-1996.If you could tell me which variation of the model 586 you have(586-1,586-2 etc.) I could pinpoint the year of production,and any possible limited production models for that year.
The Blue Book of Gun Values has a listing of Winchester Model 101 manufacture years by serial number. This listing, though, ends in 1971 and the Model 101 continued in production for many years after that.
Depending on condition, between $50-125. These were known as Hardware Guns- a number of gun makers would make guns marked with the name of your company, for you to sell to your customers. Examples include Sears, Montgomery Ward, Shapleigh Harware, Gambles, and Western Auto stores. I believe your Gambles Store Pioneer was actually made by Savage Arms.

Known as "Hardware Store" guns, Savage/Springfield/Stevens made rifles marketed under the Gambles Store Pioneer label. Yours MAY be a Springfield model 86. I happen to have one marked Springfield, and one marked Pioneer Gambles Store, and they appear to be identical. As shooters, they are worth $50-100. Nice little rifles.

Not Crescent- Savage made them for Gambles Store under their Pioneer trade name. Have a couple of them. Basic, but nice little rifles.
Made for Pioneer Stores by J. Stevens, it is likely a .22 LR.
