Buckley Estate Tools, Machinist & Shop Auction

WHY THIS AUCTION MATTERS

Most estate tool sales are a pile of rusty boxes. This one is different. John Buckley kept his precision tools in their original Starrett and Brown & Sharpe cases and ran his shop on vintage Delta, Walker-Turner, and Buffalo iron. This second Buckley Estate auction, following September's collector sale, offers the workshop itself. It's online only, and every lot opens at $1.
