Does anybody know what these things are worth? In decent shape. It has the gold medallion on the stock that says Safety-Ethics-Sportsmanship.
Marlin 60W-22LR

Not sure where you're at, but with or without the medallion they average 100-125 around here, with the SS versions touching 200

I own 2.
A Glenfield and a Marlin 60. They are not expensive rifles (used 60-110) but they are great shooters. Most 60's I've seen would shoot as good right out of the box as some modified 10/22's .
Like I said, they're not a lot of money, but they are well built, surprisingly accurate, and a great rifle to hand down to your kids. Keep it.

I'm from Missouri. I don't know much about the Medallion on the stock, but I have heard it brings slightly more value since not all rifles with this model had them.

I have 6 model 60s now.
I used to have 8 but the kids "borrowed" them after a range trip. They are pretty common on the used rack in stores and a lot are "closet queens" that were shot a few times then stuck in the hall closet with a scratch or two here or there and a really dirty action that needs a good cleaning.
FWIW, I've paid from $25 for one (broken spring that Marlin totally rebuilt for another $25) to $175 for a NIB SS version. The older ones with the longer tube mags are a little more desirable.
Pick up a Spee-D-Loder or two for range trips to save time reloading the tube.

Do you want to sell it?

18rds for the older ones vs. 14-15rds for the newer ones.

I dunno. I paid $75 for the squirrel stock gun I posted pics of further back in the thread (18rd tube, old style wraparound front sight) in perfect condition. I'm the one that refinished it for cosmetic reasons (that and I don't plan on ever selling it - I'll be teaching my son to shoot with it, and hopefully he'll teach his son with it as well).
Well, value does not matter. I ain't selling mine. Just a joy to shoot.

That's no lie. I've only shot one or two unmodified .22LR rifles that can even come close to matching the groups this one prints. These marlins are ACCURATE.
I believe my model 60 is mid 90's vintage with a 22" barrel. It holds 14 in the tube IIRC. I also have a Glenfield model 75C (store brand model 60) with a 19" barrel. It holds 13 in the tube magazine.
I agree with Fred G they are a ton of fun.

This stainless m60 I bought from a charity auction. I wanted to support the charity and did not care what the rifle cost. It came to $160. I added the TH stock and scope afterward. Since this pic was taken I replaced the Centerpoint scope with a pawn shop find Leupold M8-4x.
I also have a newer m60 with the short barrel and laminated stock. I bought it at a pawn shop for $100. It appeared to be unfired. Go figure.
I love them both.

I think they reduced the barrel from 22" to 18" in the mid 80s. You can find the date of manufacture by subtracting the first two digits of the serial number from 100. So for example, my Glenfield 60's first two numbers are 24, so it was manufactured in '76.
60W was a WalMart exclusive. I bought mine in '94 for $69.99 on sale. It saw a lot of use because it's such a great shooter. I gave it a big work-over a couple of years ago-trigger work, pillar bedded, and refinished stock.
It'll out shoot all of my other .22's except the varmint barrel Savage MKII, and has shamed many tweaked 10-22's at the range.
Value? like many of my other rifles-not for sale.
