Bottle Jacks

dimanche 29 mars 2015

Didn't really know where to post this that it would get a wide audience. So I put it here.



I think these are called bottle Jacks and as they are both old & cast iron I couldn't resist buying them.



I have a few questions I'm hoping someone out there can advise me on. The bars that are used to raise and lower the jack is it just a simple length of road bar or was it reduced at the end or something a little more special?



the smaller one is a Mathison Glasgow 3 ton the other 11" 4 ton Woden.



Are they something people collect?



Were they common place in the household or just industry, did everyone have one?



What period would these two be dated at?
