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.

Subject: IML: 1955 Imperial Jack or
What??
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.
