It is somewhat similar to the "AA" jack, but is not correct. Per the "Restoration Guidelines & Judging Standards", the correct "AA" jack does not have the flip-top. Probably for some other big truck.

What Don said - i think BB trucks had flip tops and later. Walker made jacks for everything and everyone so it could be for any of the big trucks.

They are great stable jacks meant to lift big trucks so will lift model A's just fine. Just treat it like any jack (ie dont get under the car or put leg or hand between ground and car)

Chevrolet used a flip top cast iron jack, at least on the trucks, but I don't know if this is right for that either.
The base shows what happens when someone drives off without removing the jack first.

In the Judging Standards I find this Jack for an AA.

Information found shows my jack as being for a 1932 and later BB Truck.
