Thanks i'll take a better pic with my camera that one was with my cell. If it is a 67 what years were these made?
Your particular Winchester Model 67 was made between 1934 and 1944. Production was from 1934 to 1963, but after 1944 the Chrome plated (not stainless steel) trigger and bolt were changed to a blued version.

You didnt notice the evidence sticker lol
Ditto on the Model 67. Take some "0000" steel wool with some oil and most of the light rust will come off. I usually use motor oil, be liberal with it and keep a rag handy. 10 minutes worth of work and you'll be surprised. One screw should hold the stock to the barreled action.
The buttplate looks like a replacement, probably because of the busted toe. The trigger is plated, not SS.
Nice rifle! I gave a similar version(M68) to my son as his first gun.

Wouldn't be worth all that much, from a sales standpoint.
But, clean it up nice and fix up the front sight and it makes an excellent heirloom rifle for teaching young'uns.

Model 67, for sure, and the un-recessed stock screw indicates that it is pre-1937.
Worth restoring IMHO, especially if the bore is still good. Check with the folks on the Winchester forum at http://www.rimfirecentral.com for parts. Lots of helpful people there.

Clean it up, refinish the stock, get a pedicure, then take new photos before you throw it up on the EE! 
Kidding, but there should be a thread on CGN with the title; Guns N' Toes~share your photos!
I'd keep the the thing if I were you, but as to whether or not to put an time into cleaning it up? I'd start with the bore and see if it's in good working order, then see if the bolt/firing pin is functioning/can be made to function, etc. If all that checks out, seems to me it would be a fun, rainy-day kind of project to tinker with. Even an hour here/hour there kind of deal. I have a couple old shotguns in similar shape, maybe not quite as bad..and have no desire to do any work to them as I'll never shoot them. If they were .22s, I'd have cleaned them up already~a light, simple, safe, cheap-to-shoot .22 is such a pleasure to carry in the woods.
Good luck!

I have had rifles that looked just like yours and it is sometimes amazing what some TLC can do.
I would take the stock off, then virtually soak the metal in kerosene. Strip off a piece of metal foil, longer thatn the barrel and action, shape it, put the metal in it, then kerosene, turning it over once in a while.
Some of the rust might come off and what rust is left will come off easier. Like they said, use oil with steel wool, as fine as you can get and go real easy,so as not to take off the bluing.
Go very easy on cleaning the barrel. 22 barrels are damaged more by cleaning than by shooting.
Winchester 67 rifles sell at gun shows for about double of what a similar Cooey would sell for.

After the gun that was the first thing I noticed and wondered what is the story behind it........
