de

models, history, and a ball park value would be appreciated as i think i will sell 2 or the 3.

thanks.
 
The Hiawatha was made by Cooey for MacLeods Stores. Looks to be the same as a Cooey model 60. It would have been blued. Value for yours without bluing will be $100.00 tops, more like $75.00.
The Cooey/ Winchester model 64B was of course made after the Winchester take over in 1961. There was the model 64, 64A and then the 64B. Value for yours is between $100.00 and $125.00.
 
any idea on timeframe that the hiawatha was made? it is my favourite of the 3. i'm still working on a brick of .22 shorts that i bought at macloed's.
 
The C.I.L. Anschutz looks like a model 167. If that's the model number, it's a basic design with decent two stage trigger. Value $125-$200 depending on condition.
 
The so-called "C.I.L." .22s, actually made by JG Anschutz, are one of the biggest secrets in the whole world of .22 rifles.

Feed them what they want and they are shockingly accurate.

Check the Anschutz receiver under the ft scope mount, should be a model no stamped. I bought a new mod 310 in the mid 70's. It wears a Bushnell Trophy XLT 4-12x40 AO, super gopher gun, even using Win 555 bulk. Seems to shoot great with all ammo, even tried some shorts and CB's. Feeds without a hitch. Just have to re zero with the low power stuff.
 
My father has one exactly like the bottom one. He painted the stock satin black and had a scope mounted. The rifle is pretty accurate. The only proble is the semi-auto system that locks up once every 20 shots and the "safety" position that lets go after a few minutes of walking around...
 
I have that CIL, bought it for $20 a couple years ago. Gave it a good cleaning, wife refinished the stock and it is set up for .22 subsonics and a red dot. It will single hole round after round, without doubt in the top two of my most accurate firearms.
We call it the "quiet rifle", used when you need an absolutely silent gun.

20 rds then jam IS the safety...

OK, seriously, I adore my 64s. The "push-charging-handle-into-receiver" style safety is not finger friendly, nor super-reliable. Muzzle control (at all times) is what will keep things safe. Later revisions to the 64 (under Lakefield, still carried by Savage) include a different safety style.

For jamming issues in a 64, make sure it's clean, and kept clean (every 500-1000rds). Do not lube the action for use, only for storage/rust prevention. As with any semi .22, make sure you've found an ammo it likes to eat. Opinions/experiences vary here...try different ammo (through a clean 64) until you find one that purrs...

50+ years in production, and still being made means something.

Sorry for the hijack OP, but since you own one, you may benefit too.

As accurate [for a semi] as the 64 is, of OP's trio, it'll be less than stellar in this department.

i have a mossberg with the same type of safety. i've probably shot it 50,000 times, the only jams are when you load the magazine to the max, leave 2 out and no jams.
