Don't Forget the Innocenti jack. The one shown in Horler's book is a light blue
similar integrated handle jack, but the handle is short and the bottom appears
to be circular with cut-out ridges - a more compact jack. Maybe this is a common
Italian style jack? Or maybe not?? With 17,000 Innocentis made, how much would a
jack like this be worth?? D. Michael
