I picked these up years ago at a gargae sale, I thought you guys might appreciate them. No markings on them other than what looks like a casting number on the bottom plate. The construction is pretty unique. Any ideas?

The jack stands, formerly known as safety jacks, were most likely made during WW II. My father patented a design and I have the original samples. I occasionally use them.

How about a picture or two, Art?

Nice old USA made jack stands. We now trust our lives to cheap china cast iron.

Yup, and every time I use my Chinesium stands, I leave the jack there too (if I can).

Here’s 3 American made homemade Jack stands we’ve had around our farm for around 50 years. My father got them at a farm auction in the 60’s.
One of them has the part number T2853 on it. I think we know what this is.
