Help identifying some tire jacks

[gruen911]

Guys,
I have 3 different tire jacks. Can anyone tell me what years they belong to?
If anyone needs a particular one, I am willing to sell each of them.
Thanks

The screw one withthe green dot looks just like the one in my '73.

The non screw one is for an earlier car (I had one for my '67) and should only be used for concours or the most dire need.

No idea on the third one though.

Mercedes Benz 60's-70's Bilstien looks to be the middle one

I restore these for all the '71 3.5's(111) I work on. Also used in 280SL(113) and others.

That third one (farthest on the right) looks like the Bilstein jack that came with my '72, built 01/72. I'm making the assumption that it's the original jack (I'm the second owner).

I have one like the jack on the right that I've been told is a 914 jack. It's similar to the late-356/early-911 Bilstein jack but definitely not identical. You can find out a little more about these at http://www.356.ca/tools/Jack.htm The 356C jack was continued with the early 911s.

The middle jack looks a lot like my VW bus jacks except that VW and old Porsche jacks have a rectangular prong to engage a jack spur and that one's round.

The jack on the left is--as far as I know--a later style Porsche jack. I got one for $ 25 at a swap meet and (unlike the expensive, collectible early Bilstein jacks) it works real well. It's a great choice to carry in your car for changing tires.

Although at first look the green dot jack looks correct for 73'.. Its not... first off its too long overall, plus the handle is the wrong shape and the indentation on the handles side is incorrect..

Well,
Based upon the wide array of responses, seems like everyone is a little foggy on which jack belongs to which car and which model year.
We have seat police, tool kit police, and fog light police. Anyone know who is chief of the tire jack police?

The one on the right looks like the one that is in my '67 but there should be a round rubber plate on the end.

Is the top metal plate painted blue on that one ?

[gruen911]

Hi John,
No rubber plate on the end and no blue top. The disc on the bottom base says Bilstein in raised lettering on one side. On the other end it has the letters DBP. Also there are some small letters and numbers which are hard to read like AB8856 or something close to this
