Cooey Model 60 Historical Pricing

[Blastattack]

Hey guys, need an assist here; my grandfather is reminiscing about his old Cooey Model 60 Repeater, and we got into a debate about how much these things cost. My question to you, specifically those who bought one of these new, is: What did the Cooey Model 60 cost in 1945, or thereabouts?

Cheers! Thank you!

I said $12.50 but GeeGee said he paid more. Thanks for the info. Do you know what year he bought his in, or was it in 1945?

'45, I don't know. I can remember Juniors @$9.95, Seniors @$11.95, Repeaters @$17.95, shotguns @$19.95.

In the late 60s I know my model 600 was 43.00 I believe and a Lee Enfield could be bought for about the same price.

What about now?

Yeah, but what's a Model 60 in good shape worth today?

About $200 brand new from Savage...

I paid 100$ for one off EE, and 60$ for a restored one from Wholesale sports (consignement)

I bought my '60 used in 1986 for $ 40.00, after thousands of rounds I doubt I would have trouble selling it for the same or more now, as it still functions and shoots perfectly. Good investments those '60's

What are you talking about? Savage does not, and to my knowledge, never has, made a copy/clone/version of the Cooey Model 60/600. Savage continues to manufacture the Model 64, which was originally produced by Cooey, followed by: Lakefield and Winchester, and perhaps a few others.

Oops, my bad, your right, I'm thinking the model 64. Sorry.

There was however a lakefield mark II and now a savage mark II

Like yours, my 600 in 1973 was about $50 new. My Winchester 37A 12 ga was $53 with tax brand new in 1974.

It's still one of the best shooting and reliable rimfires I have and it's in near mint condition. To me it's priceless because it was my first gun. But if it were for sale I think I would ask $170-$240 including the leather sling and Sportview scope.

So to answer the OP, depending on the condition, etc., even though it sold for $10 in 1940, it should be worth $100-$200 to someone.

Remember a 1969 Camaro SS-RS could be had for around $3700-$4200 in 1969. Today if it was in original showroom condition you couldn't touch it for under $50,000.

I asked my grandfather, and he thinks he paid about $7 for his Cooey Mohawk in the late 30's. I've still got it, and it still shoots great - may be due to the fact the barrel is probably 2 or 3 inches longer than a typical 60/600.

True, but they are nothing like the model 60 or 600. The Lakefield Markll is clip fed.

Never said they were but he mentioned lakefield. That is why I said the savage mkII

 

[saskbooknut]

I bought my first firearm, a Model 60 Cooey, well used but serviceable, in 1963 for $5.

I can remember a Cooey single shot for around $10 bucks but that is a while ago.The fish man used to sell the repeaters for about $40 to $50 bucks delivered right to the farm if I remember right.
