I'm digging both of those
Not sure where to put this. My Dad passed away back in June - this is his hydraulic jack. I guess he acquired it back in the 50's or 60's. As far back as I can remember we used it to jack up the vehicles for oil changing, tire rotating, etc. As a kid we lived in a mobile home for many years and it would need leveling from time to time as it settled. I remember many times crawling around under it with that jack, a level, some wooden shims, and a hammer.

A friend of mine had a front porch with one corner sagging. He bought an inexpensive jack like this, jacked up the porch, then cemented the jack in place!
BTW, both my parents died several years ago, and I have a lot of their things, including clothes of my dad's that I can wear. It gives me a continued sense of connection with them, as this jack will probably do for you and your father. I love the patina of a life well lived by that jack...
h2oman, likewise, I have lots of my Dads clothes - and I have one of his USN rank insignia's on my hat. Yes, the jack is very worn, just about all the paint is long gone, I may still run across the handle in his shop, but I suspect it is gone, so I just use a wooden dowel to operate it.
BTW - one of my distant ancestors was the first governor of Oregon (territory?)
Well, according to Wikipedia, he was governor of Oregon Territory, which would be even better than just Oregon! All of present-day Oregon, Washington and Idaho and maybe the best of Wyoming (where I grew up, can't tell from the map if it included the Wind River Mountains, one of Wyoming's finest features) and Montana. Interesting!
