Guest spongerich Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Hi All,I bought a bunch of stuff in an estate sale and among the old car jacks was one made by The Buckeye Jack Mfg. Company. It has what I'm 99% sure is the Peerless logo on the back and says Model 06A on it.Does anyone know if this is in fact from a Peerless model and what year it might date to?I'll try to get a picture tomorrow when the light is a little better.Thanks!

jeff_a Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 spongerich, Thanks for stopping by! When PeerlessBelgium and I picked up a 1927 and a 1928 Peerless in California last November, one of them had a jack that said "Peerless" on the side of the case. It was the type with the notched bar that the case traveled up and down on, using a lug wrench or rod of some kind (missing), and the logo had the name in longhand. I don't remember the name of the maker of the jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spongerich Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Thanks Jeff,Here's some pics of the jack in question.Patent date is 1917 which I suppose puts it right in the correct timeframe to be original to a Peerless car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoneyPit Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I've had and sold an identical jack with a Cadillac script, and seen one with a brass tag for Pierce Arrow cars on the side plate, so I fully believe this is from the tool kit of a Peerless from sometime after the pat date and could have been supplied for many years thereafter.

Richard Lichtfel Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 According to the parts manuals the jack that came with the model 56 Peerless cars was: Peerless part number- Y 101, Jack ( Buckeye 1 ton with 14" handle).This jack would have been with the tools provided in Peerless cars from 1916 into the early 20's.I have seen other Peerless jacks but I think those were generic and not made for a specific car.

TheMoneyPit Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 If the Peerless name were in block letter's it would be a common aftermarket sold thru auto suply magazines, most notably "Ford Owner".Those are jacks made by another Peerless - this one made by Buckeye is a different story.
