Vintage EUREKA NO. 1 6SB CAR JACK Cast Iron Screw Type! - eBay (item 310063253143 end time Jul-04-08 20:21:16 PDT)This vintage cast iron car jack is marked, "Eureka No. 1 SB" on the body front and "K" on the body back. The handle is marked, "6SB Ashland O" and "Ashland Mfg Co."
I wouldn't trust this old jack any further than I can throw it. Maybe it was meant for a lightweight car like an old Model T as it doesn't lift very high--from 9 1/2" to 15 1/2". Yes, it works, but I can imagine slippage between the gears is possible, even likely under a heavy load.
I didn't clean it up much, just rubbed off some of the rusty crust. A good oiling and rub and scrub might make a wonderful difference so you can display this old car tool with pride.
2 Strings of BRASS BELLS From India, 4 Sarna, 4 Small! - eBay (item 310063231383 end time Jul-04-08 18:39:23 PDT)These two strings of bells came from India. The four different-size bells are carved and marked in order from large to small, "Bells of Sarna, India 157 - 3; Reg. U.S. 157 - 2; SS Sarna Inc. India; Giod Pul (I think)." The four same-size bells have a simpler design of lines around them and are marked on the outside, "India."
The different-size bells make a lovely series of tones, deep to high. The same-size bells all make a nice bright tinkle. Surely you can come up with far more decorative strings, cords or leather lacing to enhance their beauty.
