Since that's an unusual gun, and possibly of some value, you might also want to check the Buffalo Bill Cody museum, which houses the Winchester archives:

Winchester was fanatical in their records keeping, and they may be able to give you details right down to where this gun was first shipped to from the factory,
But they charge you for the data.
There were a few that do not have a standard trigger, but use a THUMB trigger. Do a web IMAGE search for Winchester thumb trigger rifle, and you will find it.
0-500 USD depending on EXACTLY what you have and its condition, accessories, box, manual, etc..
The rifle was produced from 1904 to 1923, originally known as the Winchester Thumb Trigger Model. In 1920, the rifle was renamed to become the Winchester Model 99, and it stayed that way until 1923 when the rifle was discontinued. Value is heavily dependent on condition, but should exceed $1,000. You will need a hands-on appraisal for a better answer.
The main difference is that the hammer and the thumb lever to break it open are reversed. On the 37, the hammer was rear and the thumb lever was farther forward. the 37a is reversed. the 37a also had a gold colored trigger.

The surgery cures the trigger thumb--why should there be any cash settlement?
trigger finger/thumb
Yes - you can get trigger finger in any finger in your hand, including the thumb. See the video link below on the symptoms of trigger finger.
I grabbed this question because Winchester actually made a rifle with no trigger and I'd love to own one, just because it's so unusual. You'd be better off contacting me directly at: Marcucco @ gMail.com, but I can try to help you here if that's more convenient for you. I promise I won't try to talk you into selling me the gun either way. First, are you sure this is this a gun that never had a trigger? There's no cut out in the stock where the trigger should be? Next, is there a button on the upper part of the stock on the tang behind the action? A button you could push with your thumb? Check the stamping in the barrel, It should say Winchester, Model of 1899. My guess is that this is a single shot rifle, chambered in .22 short. It was considered a "boy's rifle" and this particular gun was called a "Thumb Trigger". It's pretty rare and if it's in good shape it's worth some $. There won't be a serial number on it so it will be hard to tell the exact date of manufacture, but it's some time between the mid 1900's and the mid 1920's I'm working on finding a drawing for it but I haven't located one yet, respond to me here or by eMail and I'll see what we can do.
No, the small finger is medial to the thumb.
Could trigger a break out if you suck your thumb rather vigorously, but that isn't what causes cold sores. Cold sores are caused by a virus.
Congenital Trigger Thumb A trigger finger or thumb happens when trying to bend or straighten the finger or thumb. It locks or catches and does not move freely. In children, it is often first seen when the child is older than 1 year of age. Causes? Pediatric trigger thumb occurs by chance and is not related to other disorders. A band of tissue called a tendon connects the thumb to a muscle in the forearm. Sometimes in children, the tendon grows faster than the protective sheath that surrounds it. The sheath becomes tight, preventing the tendon from gliding easily inside it. The tendon may become swollen and make it difficult (or impossible) for your child to fully extend their thumb. Treatment? In a small number of children, trigger thumb gets better on its own, without treatment. The chance of this decreases as children get older. Because of this, surgery is recommended for trigger thumbs in children older than 2. Surgery takes about 30 minutes under general anesthesia. During the surgery, the surgeon makes a small cut in the tendon sheath so that the tendon can move smoothly. After surgery, your child will probably have to wear a soft bandage for one to two weeks.
