I am a student working on a collection that came into our museum over ten
years ago. Unfortunately, the artifacts were not processed and it is my
duty now to learn more. I was wondering if anyone had heard of a valve
spring lifter. I have found that recent lifters are for automobiles. This
iron tool may have been used to build a wagon (or so the accession records
say). It looks like a jack of some kind with handles. It is about 9" long
and has a spring between the two handles. As you squeezed the handles the
jack could lock in place. I am sorry this is vague. My knowledge of tools
is not extensive. I don't have a photograph as of yet. I have consulted
many tool books, web sites, and Sears catalogs. I will appreciate any
insight. Though the records call this tool a lifter, it may not even be this
type of tool.
Thanks,
Elizabeth Nohra
