I picked up this Handyman Jack for $20. From what I can tell, it was made in the early 1960s, before they changed the name to Hi-Lift Jack. Whether you call it a farm jack, railroad jack, long-beam ratchet jack, trail jack, or a 4x4 jack, this tool can do some real work and also get you out of a bind.
