content: Jacks is a portion of the Business Ephemera Series of the Warshaw Collection of Business Americana, Accession AC0060 purchased from Isadore Warshaw in 1967. Warshaw continued to accumulate similar material until his death, which was donated in 1971 by his widow, Augusta. For a period after acquisition, related materials from other sources (of mixed provenance) were added to the collection so there may be content produced or published after Warshaw's death in 1969. This practice has since ceased.

Most of the companies made more than one type of jack including track jacks, automatic lowering jacks, oil well jacks, pipe forcing jacks, bridge jacks, railway jacks, ball bearing jacks, lever jacks, hydraulic jacks, and automobile jacks. Other tools made by these companies include hoists, presses, polishing and buffing machinery, and pumps.   The material dates from 1861 - 1928, but the bulk is late nineteenth century.
