It appears that the rare earth metals peddler Samuel Buckley & Company, London & NY(100 William Street, NY) and the Belgian tube importer Samuel Buckley & Company were two different, independent firms. Rare earth metal Samuel Buckley & Company(Printer?) is most of the time noted as "Successors of Samuel Buckley" with Wilfred Buckley(occasionally Wilfred L. Wood) d.b.a. or trading as "Samuel Buckley & Company". It had a strong emphasis in silver was was an agent for J. Starkie Gardner in the U.S. of A. Circa 1901 there was a tit for tat suit between Ernest O. Jacobsen and Wilfred Buckley trading as Samuel Buckley,

Also about the same time rare earth metal peddler Samuel Buckley & Company tried to dance with the NY Appraiser and either A.G. Spalding & Brothers was involved or in a similar sinking ship. Or A.G. Spalding and Wilfred Buckley trading as Samuel Buckley of London & NY were on opposite ends of the judicial stick.
