1946-1947 Original Bumper Jack

All,
I've been searching for a bumper jack for my 46 Custom.
For some reason there aren't any on ebay (and I watch religiously). I would really appreciate if someone in the group would be able to send a photo of a bumper jack that they are certain is the original that came with the car. I've seen and collected a few photos but I'm not sure if the bumper jacks I see in the photos are correct as I don't have anything to compare. They are expensive so I don't want to just buy something that looks like it's correct. Appreciate anything you would be able to show. Of course it goes with out saying...If you have an extra original and would like to sell I would be greatful. Thanks!

The original kit for the 46-47 Clippers was the bumper jack and base plate, pliers, screwdriver and sparkplug wrench packed in an elongated triangular cardboard box. There are a couple of nice pictures of it in Don Reedy and Danny Shaub's book Packard Automobile Company - Tools and Jacks. See the Packard bookshelf for details on this handy book.

The authors have given me permission to publish occasional pictures from their book; here's the page that covers your question. There is also a picture of the decal for the jack.
