• Nick, I have seen a Buckman here and there...but your collection is fantastic.  I bet there is no one in the US with such a large and varied group of Buckmans.
  
  Well done for sure,
  Rog

  I was very disgusted with the way the seller packed it and shipped as cheaply as he could... was shocked how well it survived the trip...
  
  I cannot believe that it could be 140 years old!    If I make it into my 90's, I may see the day that these engines are 200 years old

  It had to be good, the engine was probably a whopping dollar or so when new
