CHICAGO. The reverse side is embossed with the text WORLD'S LARGEST MFGR. OF LEVER SCREW & HYDRAULIC JACKS. The piece features a black textured top cap, an integrated handle, and an internal gear mechanism visible through a side aperture. The accompanying cream-colored fabric koozie features black printed text that reads GET HAMMERED WITH PALMER'S AUCTION CO. alongside a graphic of an auction gavel and a crushed beverage can. Miniature jack height: 3 inches. Both items exhibit minor surface wear. The miniature jack shows small areas of paint loss, surface oxidation, and light pitting to the metal, particularly on the base and embossed areas. The fabric koozie shows light soiling and wear consistent with standard use.
