Noob intro and question

[BoneChop]

Hey guys new here, been wrenching for over 20 years and I have grown a passion for antique tools, equipment and anything mechanical. I already have a small collection of older tools, pics of those soon!

So my question is, I have this jack I was given for cleaning out an old shop. It has very hard finding any info on this jack partially because it is gear driven, it "ratchets" both up and down. The arm does not fold up, and there nubs it can stand on so you can lean it against a wall?

Any knowledge would be helpful, thanks ahead of time!

My guess is a Walker jack.

I have found pics of old Walker jacks, but they all seemed to be hydraulic? The rear wheels do not swivel either?

With some searching of similar threads, I think it may be a Marquette

I'm gonna say it's a Walker. Look at the identical handle and other design features here:

I have found both Walker and Weaver jacks that look similar, found this today.....

Thanks guys, I am glad to have found this site, each day I find more threads I can get into! I found 2 sets of numbers O&M the jack, yet no identifying names, FYI.
