A bit of model T jack trivia
1911 Ford time’s magazines have a few adds for the Buckeye jack company. They state their No. 3 jack is especially designed for Ford cars. I have one early Buckeye jack that is number 3, but it was made is Louisville, Ohio. Buckeye moved to Alliance, Ohio in the beginning of 1910. It seems all the jacks made in Alliance with the Ford name are the model No 00, not the No 3 as there add states. Anybody have a Buckeye Alliance No 3 Ford jack?

Re: A bit of model T jack trivia
It looks as if the ratchet mechanism design was adopted for the late Model T jacks which were laminated sheet steel rather than castings.
Is that correct?

Re: A bit of model T jack trivia
I have the "00" jack, but have yet to find an early #3 FORD jack. Even harder to find is an original handle.

Re: A bit of model T jack trivia
Yup, Number 3, made in Alliance. And a OO.
Both with considerable original finish. Judging Guidelines take note!!!

Re: A bit of model T jack trivia
Appears to me that that description "N0. 03" refers to the catalog model number system that Buckeye Mfg. Co. used.KimDobbins wrote: ↑Sat May 06, 2023 8:56 pm1911 Ford time’s magazines have a few adds for the Buckeye jack company. They state their No. 3 jack is especially designed for Ford cars.

The " catalog # 03" is shown with the size of the jack, what it capacity is, and likely the 16" lift size jack, only weights 5 lbs. was the best for the Ford.

Re: A bit of model T jack trivia
The “No. 03” is marked on the jack. They made the same jack without the FORD on the plate. Also made jack with other names on them. I believe I have a plain one in my garage.

Re: A bit of model T jack trivia
Buckeye Jack made jacks with numerous different marque names on them! And for many years. Many years ago, when I had a nice 1925 Studebaker, I had a Studebaker Buckeye jack!
I have seen at least a dozen Cadillac jacks (don't know why so many of those?), Nash, Hudson, and several others at swap meets over the years.
