[SlikDik]

Hello All . New to this forum, I recently purchased a Walker (Model 745 Roll-A-Car) Floor jack I have tried every search I can think of to put a date on it ,,,Any info is welcome . Thanks

This jack was made 1937 thru 1939 for sure. Probably made earlier and maybe a bit later as well.

Hmmmm. That patent is from 1922

Does the jack have a dating profile? Will the jack date other kinds of jacks. IE bottle, scissor, hi-lift, etc.

International Tool Catalog Library is your friend.

The patent date is 1922, but the only catalog image I was able to find for that model dates from 1937.

patent is from 1922, OK. I find some information through advertisements. I haven't seen any ads for that jack that early, but I'll keep looking.

Whenever it was made it is way cool!

 

[Jeff H]

agreed !

I know a skid-steer that could use a pick-me-up….

A jack friend of mine knows a Hein Warner that's single. She's older but she's still got her looks, believe me!
