Model T jacks.

Most of the jacks which came with our Canadian produced cars were screw jacks. Two common brands were produced by Auto Specialties and Elite Manufacturing. The more desirable ones have a flip in top piece to accommodate the higher tear axle.

I bought a strikingly similar one at Chickasha, the only real difference being the little pawl which engages the lifting gear. It is branded on the handle Walker Mfg Co, Racine, Wis. with the number 215 following. On the other side of the handle is the Ford script. Each individual component has its own part number cast in it. Where does such a jack fit in the timeline for US model Ts.
