Antique No.1 Badger 3/4 Ton Car Jack Made By Walker
This Antique No.1 Badger 3/4 Ton Car Jack Made By Walker is in pretty good condition for its age (early 1900s). There is some rust and loss of black coating but the mechanism is still operational.
Approximate Size:-
- Base Depth: 12.6cm (5")
- Height: 25.4 cm (10")
- Base Width: 9cm (3.5")
Sold as display only, and without a handle, as the jack probably doesn't meet modern Health and Safety standards. I think it probably also has a pin missing at the top of the jack.
An early version, this particular jack does not have the 'flip top' associated with the later no.1 jack, and the brass label is marked Badger Walker whereas the later versions are Walker Badger.
Brass Label engraved:-

Designed for use with light and medium weight cars (under 3/4 'American' ton where 1ton = 2000llb) in the late Victorian/ Early Edwardian period e.g. 1903 Ford Model A. A great item for the antique car aficionado!
