Looks like a steampunk sprinkler, but very nice....gj

Very cool. Should be good for $50-$60? maybe? What do ya think? Is it all original or has it been modified?

It is super cool looking. Almost like a small piece of artillery.

I've been looking it up , I haven't found this exact one . I polished it & changed the grease fitting . I have before pictures , when it was dirty - I have a new Laptop - some of my pictures are stuck in the cloud - what ever that is ?

anyway I put it on E today - 7 day - it's doing good - 5 bids in a few hours . Vintage Buckner Lawn Sprinkler Turfking 610 | eBay

lol, the "cloud", yeah I can relate. I got a new desktop and am still learning to navigate windows 8.1. That sprinkler may do pretty good, I see that it's already over $30 with 5 bids and 5 watchers too. Good luck!

This, for me, is another one of those "who knew" kind of items. For $2 I might have taken the gamble but if they were asking $5 or more I would have dropped it like a hot potato. Did you take a flyer on this, mojjax, or were you already tuned in to the vintage lawn sprinkler market? Either way, it looks like a moment coming up for you. Nice score!

Yep, looks like this sprinkler is on the path to a bidding war, 5 bids already between two users. Now just sit back and enjoy the show. Nice buy!

Ever since I sold this one - I've been on the lookout for them - http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/g...-lawn-sprinkler.html?highlight=lawn+sprinkler

Obviously, old sprinklers are no laughing matter - unless you are on your way to the bank! Good luck and have fun counting your money!

Buckner is still in business...
