they looked familiar to me...so i went to take a look at mine.
your smaller one is similar but not identical to mine.

Thanks Scott. Both look like mine but in top shape...! I see your long version has two end caps.

the top of the long one is rubber....which they sell as a separate part in a few places.

Many thanks for your help.

If it's any help, PET says the part number for the jack identified as "1963 Reutter 356B T6 Cabriolet" is 644.722.010.00 and it was used through 1968 (-68). It's usually called a "Bilstein Jack" (Bilstein made/makes a bunch of different jacks) and it was introduced circa 1955 and went through several changes without a new part number--that's the final version used from '62 on. See www.356tools.com/Jack.htm In good condition its worth maybe $250 to $350.
The rubber buffer for its top is available from Sierra Madre Collection, Aase, Stoddard, NLA Parts, etc.
There's a much harder to find spring-steel collar thingy that retains the rubber buffer. Your pictures aren't too clear but I think yours is present. Restoring these jacks is much easier with a replacement shaft but I don't know anybody now making good shafts.
These are often confused with early Volkswagen jacks. On a VW jack, the prong is 90° to the shaft--on a Porsche jack the prong angles down.
------------------
Part # 914.721.010.10 was used through 1971 when it was replaced by part # 914.721.011.10. I know much less about these but the jack identified as "1971 non-Karmann 911T coupe" does indeed look like the 914 jacks I recall so I guess it could match the part number. It should be the correct choice for a '70 911.
