Vintage 1930s Cast Iron and Steel Woden Truck or Car Jack

Made by the British Joseph Hampton Co. at the Woden Works in Wednesbury. This likely 1930s Cast iron bottle jack has a steel screw to raise and lower it. The jack carries scars commensurate with its age and use but has a lovely patina. Famous for making quality Nuts and bolts, Cramps, clamps, vices and jacks, Hamptons also had a foundry department making decorative machine bases, manhole covers, pipe cutters, polishing machines and parts for cast iron fires etc. Such jacks were often sold without a bar.
