What Jack Do I Have?

Posted by Leo Stacks on June 13, 1997 at 21:28:05

I have a jack that is a ratchet type that screws up.On the outside of the handle is the Ford script.On the inside of the handle (from the best that I can tell) is the marking "MFG. CO. Racine Wis 215" with a sideways 2.I'm not even sure if this is a Model A jack.I know Henry Ford prided himself in being self-sufficient, but I also know he subcontracted quite a bit when the demand for his car went up.The handle on this jack is bent in towards the center.Is this correct or were they straight?What was the original color--mine is a nice shade of rust.Thanks, Leo.
