It does say St Joseph , I will see if I can shoot it with a little black spray , maybe that will make the letters stand out. More pictures to come. Thanks so far!

This basic design of jack (with some design changes) was utilized by a number of auto manufacturers as well as after-market.

Re: pre-war bumper jack ID
Steve, That company supplied jacks to numerous auto manufacturers. The one in your photo is NOT Ford.
Perhaps you might inquire on a GM forum? By the looks of it, I think yours is an after market jacket intended for generic use.

Re: pre-war bumper jack ID
The Jack was manufactured by Auto Specialties Mfg. "AUSCO", .Saint Joseph, Michigan.
The company made many products for the auto industry. They have been out of business for several years. The wagon in the avatar is equipped with an "AUSCO" jack. I wore their uniform playing Pony league baseball as a kid. They also sponsored a Semi Pro baseball team during those years. Last edited by 42merc; 09-28-2020 at 09:13 AM. |
