What Is this thing?

Have a chance to buy it for "make offer" but I don't even know what it is. Any help from the brain trust would be appreciated

Model T jack?

Looks like some sort of ratcheting bevel-geared screw jack? Very cool!

How is that not a jack?

I dunno Duck.
My wife would say its just another hammer.

Old mechanical jack. I threw one away a couple weeks ago with the scrap iron. Some are worth money if you can identify what car they are for, and it's one that's in demand such as a model A.

Well I got it for $10, it'll make a nice landing gear fit my 4x8 trailer if it's not anything special. Seller says it's "for a model A or T"

Look up and see if Model A or T an owner may want to buy as Concourse Car Tool Kit. I know some jacks got for $400-500 to complete a kit for specific cars. Not sure what an A or T might have had for a tool kit.

It's a Pre 1925 Model T jack made by Walker in Racine Wisconsin.
