Anyone tell me what these jacks came from? No Model As anymore. One was bought as a AA jack.

The one on the left may be Model T. The ones in the center look like bumper jacks which would place them in the 1940-50 era. The original jacks are nice to look at but carry a modern jack, like a bottle jack, for actual use. The original ones are tippy and the cast iron parts are not all that strong. If you decide to use an original, test at home before going on the road. You may have to carry a short piece of wood to get them to lift the vehicle high enough.

I believe they came to this planet via a Martian aircraft. I really do believe that.
