Jack and Tools 1939 Cadillac Model 90 V16 7 Passenger Imperial Sedan

Does anyone happen to have an original jack and tool kit they can send me photos of for the 1939 Cadillac Model 90 V16 7 Passenger Imperial Sedan?  I am searching for these to purchase and would love photos of the originals so that I can use them for reference.  Thank you!

Don't have an exact answer but whatever it is, it is not unique to the 39 V-16.  The 40 parts book list it as a screw jack and is the same for 36, 37, 38, 39 and 40 big series cars.  In the 50's parts book it adds 41 to 48 Commercial cars but the part number is different.  In the 40 parts book the took kit consist of bag, hammer, pliers, screw driver and adjustable wrench.

I agree with Brad. It would appear the tools and jack provided was the same for a number of years. Bruce Bergoff used to supply reproductions of the tool roll. The early cars from probably the 20s and maybe teens had tools with CADILLAC script as part of the casting. Here is a picture of the tool roll, jack and lug wrench that was in my '37 75 Series which I bought from the original owner's family. There are no markings on the tool which look to be garden variety hardware. The hammer handle is a replacement on what would appear to be an older used head. The markings on the jack are Auto Specialty MFG Co, St Joseph, Michigan, No700 Pat 12/17/29. Near the top of the bottle there is SJ 1604
