My guess is that this is an aftermarket
jack. These became popular in about that time, because the factory
supplied jacks were somewhat difficult to operate. The best of these had
a 3 legged stand, and were really much better than the simple vertical “stick”
type, which would often let the car move and fall. Dick Benjamin From:

Behalf Of DONALDDICKINSOND@xxxxxx I recently bought sight unseen what was listed as a 1955
Imperial jack. This jack certainly is old but does not look anything like
the jack shown in my user manual. This one has a removable handle on the
top that turns a large verticle screw enclosed in a cylindrical column with a
pertruding bumper hook. Help....you experts on old car items....what do I
have here, was it an option for the standard jack or what. It appears to
be a nice item of the period and works well. |
