Mechanical floor jack I.d

[M_i_k_e_l_]

Hey all,
First post on this site I’ve recently purchased this old mechanical floor jack..
I’m having trouble identifying it, it has a lot of characteristics of a walker but no obvious markings. If any one could help that would be great thanks

Welcome, that's a big jack.

Welcome to the forum, MIKE!
This looks like Walker 440
Please make more pictures
Great find!

Here’s a couple more pictures of it.

I plan on making this my next restoration project so any information would be helpful I.e colour etc.
Thanks again!

I have the same jack and if I remember right it is a Walker 'Roll a Car' from the mid 30's to early 40's. I would have to double check when I get home. I love using mine as it is perfectly designed for prewar cars. It will even auto ratchet down but be careful with that handle! I can send you some period literature if you want. There should be a tag on the lower spacer on the handle.

That would be great, any information is appreciated. I’ve been using it so far with no issues everything working as it should. Just shows how well the older tools are made! It looks as if the tag has been removed.
Thanks
