I am very lucky that nobody else bid as my final second, real bid was much, much higher than my winning bid...

I'm suppose to be selling so I haven't been watching ebay and you're lucky I wasn't.
Buckman (Union) and Frisbe are the two exceptions but happy that you got (if it wasn't going to be me) ;D
Rare, of the only two that I've ever seen they were different size and had different accessories mounted and a collector in Ohio told me his had different tools then the one sold on Liveauctioneers 10 yrs ago. This one larger with more stuff on it.
Congratulations,
Al

I also followed it on eBay, but didn’t bid. I was busy buying all of Bruce’s offerings!& I certainly thank you for that Charlie...lol

Hey, Nick,
Do you think you bid on that enough times? 😁😁😁
:D :D
I was trying to bid it up high enough so there would look like there was a lot of interest and keep it from being sold outside of ebay... has happened too many times to me in the past with rare items. I was going to stop doing this at $800, but it never reached that price. My only serious bid was placed with 3 or 4 seconds left. To be honest, I was shocked how low I won this one... maybe my 50+ bids scared everyone away thinking I was a shill bidder??

You got a great Christmas Present and you will have something
to enjoy for many years.
I have a confession to make... Santa was very good to me this year, and this is not the only Buckman to arrive... my Buckman collection has nearly doubled since I posted my "Buckman family picture"... ;D
(one of them made it into the first picture in this thread ;) )

It's always a tough choice to decide on what to go for on ebay. Luckily in this case we both successfully bid on different items ;) and we can enjoy all of them on the forum ;D

I know I was watching it on EBAY!
A truly vintage piece - looks good, too!
Maybe 130-140 years old :o

Is that it until Christmas Nick? 🤣😢😂
Just finished un-packing all the small parts and I have two kids running around popping bubble wrap, so I will get the picture up soon ;) :D
Post by: Nick on December 11, 2019, 06:42:10 pm
Nick ... you are one masterful tease .... dang you!!!
Haha I could have drug it out (that looks weird typed out, but that's how everyone around here says it instead of dragged...), but the photos were posted "live" as I was un-packing. Now it's all un-packed and ready for a half-way decent picture... ;)
