      It's called a screw jack. The 1 1/2 is the diameter of thread and the 8 is the height. It would be rated at about 15 ton

      Called a "BFJ". The B is for big & the J is for jack. I'm sure you can figure out the rest. LOL!!

      That may be Illinois Iron & Bolt Co.

      Love these old jacks.

      You catch on quick ho2. I'll let you only address me as "bfb2" without sending out letter bombs.
