Default unusual little 1.5 ton jack

I have one of those, don't remember where I got it though -

Saw this little cutie recently when I was looking to buy something else. The guy
sold me this jack and also a 6 ton hydraulic bottle jack for the princely sum of
$5US, wish he'd had 20 of 'em. This is a 1.5 ton screw jack which stands 5" tall
when closed, and which extends just about 6", a feat accomplished by the use of
a telescoping ram. I haven't cleaned it up yet (and may never, it works
perfectly and boy my shop queue is centuries long already) but this one is
destined to be in my working museum of cool old US-made shop stuff:
