Can anyone ID this jack?

My neighbor has offered me this jack. It needs work to be useful. I was hoping that someone could tell me what it is and whether it's worth the effort. The label on the jack is entirely washed out and illegible. Thanks.

Looks like a cheap import. Worth 10 cents a pound if you scrap it. Not worth fixing. IMO

Its your Typical Small framed Import, Been around for quite awhile and can still be found today New. I hate to say its not worth fixing... But they are fairly Cheap New.

If your definition of "Needs Work" is simply a Leaking Pump Piston? Well then you can fix it for Pennies.

Thanks for the help. I'm not entirely sure what it needs yet, but I have a functional jack now, so I'm not looking for a new project just to restore a mediocre tool. The handle and the saddle are missing, so I haven't tried it out yet. It hasn't been used in a long time and looks like it has been left out causing the stickers to become illegible.

Hiball, I've seen your excellent post on breaking down a jack, and would definitely do that to restore a quality jack, but I think I'll pass on this particular project.

Thanks again.

Its Definitely Not worth investing alot of time or Money... I wouldnt throw it in the Ditch if it was all i had, But its Not much Force.
