Museum Acquisitions.
We are interested in acquiring machine tools from the period 1750-1920 to increase the scope of our collection. The items we try to collect are usually complete and in good condition. We will arrange collection and shipping from any location.
We pay the highest prices for items that will enhance the scope of our collection. Sometimes we are the only alternative to important machines being scrapped.
We also collect the following items:
- books published prior to 1950 on any aspect of metal working or steam power.
- Hand tools related to the metal working or engineering professions
- Factory photographs of any type
- Records, brochures and sales literature
- Hand, animal or steam powered equipment of all types.
Please contact us if you have something you think would be of interest. If you can provide an electronic or paper photograph, a description of the item, and the asking price, it will allow us to respond quickly. You can reach us by email at ian@wildbuffalo.com, or by regular mail:
