I'll start the bid on the #6 at $5

Give us some detail on the "bid" process Bruce, when will you close the bidding?

------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------

24 hours bidding on these three items. Starting upon posting, ending in exactly 24 hours after I post this.

Rod, the auction ends exactly 24 hours after I posted this portion of the thread, so... 19 May 2007 at 9:53pm OLF time. That is an hour off my time, so we'll just go with the OLF post time. Good luck, Bruce

Sorry Guys, I sort of scrambled the pics a bit. There are two, a 5 and a 6, very similar in age and condition. The sixes usually go for a bit more. Frank Ford uses the #5 Plane body only to level frets after a refret. Works well.

Buck Brothers
DATM (1999) states that Buck Brothers was formed in 1853 by John, Charles and Richard T. Buck in Rochester, NY, after immigrating from England and working for D. R. Barton. In 1856, they moved to Worcester, Massachusetts, then in 1864 to Millbury, MA. John stayed in Worcester as part of Buck & Reeves, later rejoining Buck Brothers as only an employee. Charles Buck had a fight with his brother and started his own edge tool company in 1873. Old timers say Charles' edge tools were very slightly superior to those of his brother. There are several different stories of their later activities: one states they both used the Buck Brothers name until an early 1880s lawsuit forced Charles to stop; another says Charles regained an interest in Buck Brothers in 1877 while still maintaining his own business.

Richard Buck was born in 1832, died in 1893. After his death, his sons-in-law E. M. Ward and William L. Proctor ran the company. Proctor bought out Ward in 1913 and Charles Buck's separate business in 1915. The business continued until 1972.

The company made edge tools (awls, axes, chisels, draw knives), hammers and plane blades. Marks consisted of several arrangements of their name and such things as a deer head, CAST STEEL and WARRANTED. A facility name RIVERLIN WORKS was also used.

Charles Buck started his own business called the Charles Buck Edge Tool Co. and/or the Millbury Edge Tool Works in 1873. He used the mark CHARLES BUCK CAST STEEL. DATM states he made chisels, but the Museum also has an example of a gouge with this mark.

Nooduck Chisel Co., also known as Nuduck Chisel Co., of North Grafton, MA, made chisels for Buck Brothers under a subcontract around 1890.

I guess this displays to the person looking at it, their time. But the post said, 24 hour auction, plus it said OLF Time, from my perspective, I guess. We have about 50 minutes left. Sorry for any confusion.

Not your fault.  I just didn't know where you were.  If I had been here when you made the post I would have known.  I guess, however, it would be good to say what time zone one is in when setting times, not that I wanted to make an issue. I just was asking because I didn't know.  Others, who have been members longer, probably all knew anyway.

I remember Lance having this problem once. Okay, just to be fair, it's Central Time, in about 20 minutes. Thanks everyone for participating in the Art of Confusion. Maybe though, someone will get some tools they can put to use!
