Just found this S-8 blackhawk

[don long]

I just found this old S-8 blackhawk floor jack. It looks older than the S-13 that I've restored. The badging is very different.
I've spent the last few days looking for some information on this jack but came up empty.
I'm wondering what time period it was used? What the weight limit is on it?
Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks Don

Maybe the manufacturer information plate could be read in reverse? From the back side? If the numbers are stamped on it?

Don't hold your breath cobbler this one will fall in line with several other projects. It might be a few months before it finds it's way into the shop

That's a good thought Thanks

This jack screams early 20s to me. Certainly pre-dates the streamlined versions that came along in the 30s. I have never seen one of these before but the style is familiar and resembles a lot of the early Walkers from the 20s.

I love the skinny, minimalist look to the thing. Nice find!

I agree that the jack looks earlier than the ones we've seen here before

I, like you like the custom look on this jack. It is screaming for a face lift

I really like the slim look of the frame too.
