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.
As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, the Radica Model 2320 Klondike solitaire is no longer in production. However, there are several modern alternatives and similar handheld electronic solitaire games available from various manufacturers. You might find similar devices online or in stores that offer card games or electronic toys.
The Pioneer model 28-410, sold in Gambles stores, was manufactured by the J.C. Higgins brand, which was associated with the Sears Roebuck company. This model is often recognized as a variant of the popular .410 shotgun design, known for its versatility and ease of use. Gambles, a retail chain, offered various firearms under different brand names, with J.C. Higgins being one of them.
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.
