What's the difference between verb-てくれ and verb-ておくれ?

どちらも同じ意味ですが、「ておくれ」には古いニュアンスがあり、おとぎ話などでしか聞かない表現だと思います。 演劇やドラマで聞くことがあるかもしれませんが、口語では使わないのが無難です。 They both have same meaning, but 「ておくれ」sounds old, and you can only hear in fairly tails. You might hear play or drama etc, but I would recommend you not to use it in speaking;) I hope it was helpful!
