Thanks, I doubt it if Im honest, Ive had it years but its showing signs of surface rust on the base from sitting on the floor of the garage for years so Im just lightly renovating it with a brush down and then some grate polish, it would make a great nutcracker at Christmas though, it had a very annoying squeak when pressing down, there was loads of gunk and hard oil under the plate ( loose because of the broken screw ) so I want to tighten it all up now Ive removed all the cak.
Im quite enjoying these sorts of Sunday projects, I recently did the same to a old Dunlop 8 ton bottle jack bought at the car boot for a fiver, all cleaned up and repainted now. I call them my mantiques, much to the scorn from the wife.
