older garage jack, any hints of maker?

[skipskip]

I need a new hobby , collecting garage equip takes a lot of space, and it's HEAVY.


Anyway,  today's new toy is a  garage jack, run by a ratchet and flexible chain


anyone know anything about it?  or a reference site?

Fleet made (makes? not sure if they're still in business) all kinds of automotive shop gear such as jacks.  My pump jockey days are too far behind me to be sure, but I think Dad's gas station had some Fleet equipment.  Familiar enough; probably about every place had something from them.

I see that our jacks are not exactly the same. I cant read the label but I dont think its Fleet.  I can read Milwaukee Wi

AUSCO (Automotive Specialties) is still in business making OEM jacks for cars and brakes for non auto equipment.

The one that hails from Milwaukee is probably Blackhawk.

Skip, yours looks kinda like Walker, but I'm not positive. Weaver is another possible.
