A great collection of Buckmans Nick.
BTW: I have a copy of a catalog for Buckman if anyone is interested.
Greetings, very interested in a copy, photos of the pages, and if willing to sell.
I have a number of them and a restored pumper I did that is somewhere in the archives.

The printing and font is just something else Nick, seriously seriously good !!!
It had to be good, the engine was probably a whopping dollar or so when new ;)

What a grand collection Nick, that old cardboard box is just fabulous.
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! :o If I make it into my 90's, I may see the day that these engines are 200 years old :o

Thanks Rog, Charlie and Bob! ;D Rog, I know there are others out there with much more impressive collections, wish they would share them with the rest of us...

Interesting ;)

Never heard of Buckman, but those are nice engines.
You have some great stuff, Nick.

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 do not know enough about them... so a rough guess would be 1880-ish. Would love to be corrected and learn more about them...

Very nice Doug, but I wish that one was in my family photo ;) ;)
Good to see what the weighted valve that both of my horizontals are missing is supposed to look like
Any idea of the age and model of this engine?

Nick, that is quite a collection of Buckman's! I don't think that I had ever heard of Buckman; maybe I thought they were Weeden's, if I saw one in the past. But, it just so happened that another Forum member gave me this little Buckman at the Coolspring engine show. My son had repaired a circuit board for his Stirling engine, and he wanted to give this engine to my son as a thank you. Since my son doesn't collect engines, I may get to keep it, or at least I'll get to store it for him until his next trip home.
I don't know any more about it than what the pictures show, but it sure looks good on my shelf!

And finally the boat... I believe this is a Union Mfg. Little Wonder. I put it with the Buckman engines as I was told Union Mfg. took over Buckman in the 1880's...

I had bought the one with better paint thinking it would replace the other, not realizing they are completely different...
I do not know if the wood frame is original, just that it is very old. I also am not sure about the burner, but it matches the Buckman style...
