    OK, From Pat. # 2168489 I see the jack is attached to wheel rim. When raised off the ground a second adjustable support piece is placed under the axle housing. One can then remove jack & wheel. Pretty complicated for average motorist under stress.

    1941 Pontiac used a similar setup, but it's not quite like your piece.  Jim

    Thank you. Also found simular pic of a 1947 Cadillac. Rod

  2. Patents applied for in 1939 by Walker Mfg, pattented in 1940. Seems it is for jacking a car by using the wheel. Think it sounds like a bad idea which never caught on. At any rate an unusual piece. Put it on ebay in hopes someone has interest in oddball pieces. Rod

  3. I need some help to identify this jack. I have had it for many years without knowing what it fits anf it is time to thin the heard on parts I do not need. It appears to be for a specific car and year and not a generic aftermarket. Thinking it is from the 1940's. Any help appriciated. Thanks Rod

    Graham used a 5 bolt 5.5 bolt circle pattern in 1932 or 1933 for a couple years with a hubcap similar to the Desoto pictured above if that helps you . Where are the wheels located and how much is your friend asking for them

    The wheels are located in Gothenburg, Ne. He has not set a price as he has no clue what they are worth. Thanks Rod

    Very nice wheels, are they for the Jumbo Balloon tires? Bob 

    Honestly I have no idea which tires they are for. They are 15 x 5.5. I do know he would like to sell them after they are properly ID'd. Patent date is 1921, but that has no relevency to when they were made and what they were made for. Thanks Rod

    It was at Cutris Nebraska in a box of T parts in 2004. Also came with 6 rods and a starter. I tried for years to sell the other parts at swapmeets and had them on ebay a few times, and they never sold any. When we sold the farm 3 years ago and were cleaning things up they were scrapped. Rod

  7. Still looking. Thought I found them from a tip here. Contacted the owner and he has them for sale. No followup info on price, pictures or anything that makes me beleive a deal will be achieved. Distance is too far to justify a face to face sale, so basicly back at a deadend. They are in Bogalusca, La. and I am in Nebraska.  Thanks Rod

  8. I am pretty sure these are for 16" wheels. There is another set on e-bay identical to the three I have. One of his has been cut down alittle. Since I do not have any Mopar wheels of this vintage I could not see how well they fit. I did try them on a Ford wheel and they stuck out about 1/4". Maybe on a different style they would fit. I may try that tomorrow. Rod
