These little 3-legged Buckmans were unknown to me until 3 or 4 months ago when I was offered the one on the right... I couldn't believe I'd find part of another so soon after
And this twin bee-hive has the same boiler diameter as the single I already had here (boiler simply pops on and off the base). Strange that Buckman had such a variety in boiler and piston/cylinder sizes...
Looks like you could get a copy cast of the frames with legs for both Buckmans.
Congrats, Nick. A great haul...!!!!

Thanks Gil, by the way, what was the story on the auction? I read on facebook that the engines were in a damp barn for 20 years. By the looks of some of the pieces, I believe it!
I got this one from same auction. Cleaned up nicely. Inside of boiler is like new. Don't think it was ever run.
Nice one Randy, looks great cleaned up
Randy, the cast iron Jensen's look nice. Blue is my fav color...
Nick, what's the plug in overtype in the first lot?
Nick, you'll have to publish a book on all of your obscure engines!
Nick,
The copper burner is for a Lake Breeze table fan, not the floor model fan that was in the auction. This burner was an option but their floor fans almost always had ornate little brass kerosene lamps.

I think you got 2 rare Buckmans in the second lot, but one is missing the entire cylinder & three legs Cast Iron Base. Not familiar with the other engines in the first lot.
You got it 
Was also kind of interested in the TMY boiler/burner in the lot, but I could tell they were in bad shape...
Both Buckmans are missing their 3-legged cast bases, but I have complete ones here that I hope to have replicated... The "bee-hive" Buckman is actually a 2 cylinder, but will need a new flywheel and a pair of pistons/cylinders...
In the first lot, I wanted the Wormar Trojan Model D (vertical boiler on Meccano type base). I do not know the maker of the two marine engines... will have to check with Edward...
Nick, I would have been your competition on this lot if I did not have these two rare Buckman engines already
Glad you got them
I decided to not bid at this auction due to other recent purchases.
The burner lot is a treasure trove.
There is one Weeden Burner that I need.
If you decide to sell off any of the lot, please let me know.
She should be very happy about that. That's great stuff
