Post your interesting manual floor jacks, vintage or modern

[Shelbylex]

Good afternoon.

I see hydraulic floor jacks all the time, but do not see many manual ones. The most common types I see are scissor jacks, but there were other types back in the day (may be they still make them with wheels, but I did not see one for a while). Even though they are slower, they have the benefit of never needing a rebuild kit.
Please post your manual vintage or more modern jack! Let's see what treasures we have!

As per your request Shelby

Here is my finished mechanical floor jack.
I don't know the make or date or lifting capacity but here is what I found on one of my picking trips around the south west U.S.A.

All the shinny pieces were just polished not chromed
