Old Jack Stand - Need help to ID

[DCRUTT]

Found the really old jack stand while cleaning out a relative’s garage.
Does anyone recognize the makers mark? Looks very distinct but I cannot make it out.
Thanks!

Not a jack stand, but a jack

I've always called them house jacks, but I think they might have actually started as railroad jacks.

I think yours is a Vulcan

I've known them as all the above and also screw jacks.

Could be a Badger jack, the emblem's wear doesn't leave a lot to work with.

Regardless, a nice jack and a good find.

Yep. We used them a lot back in the day. Most houses and outbuildings in Wallowa county were built on "foundations" of a bunch of piles of rocks. We'd jack the building up (use hydraulic jacks for the actual lifting), level it and use those house jacks as stands while we built new foundations--usually filled cinder block. I must have worked on a dozen of those. The screw jacks were much faster and easier to use than cribbing.

I think you nailed it. Here's other pictures of a Badger jack:
