Iron and wood automotive creeper. Auction find for $1.00. A little beat up but still very usable and makes a great wall display. It's very heavy due to the iron on both ends. No markings that I could find. If you know the maker that would be nice but not necessary.
Nice. That would be worth cleaning up a bit.
I wanted a light weight super-flexible creeper that I could throw in the back of a plane when I had to fly someplace where I had to work under a low wing etc.. I made my own. I decided on using purple heart wood because I could plane it down to about 3/16" slates that would be slightly lighter than steel & have more spring . Worked out to be extremely strong & light. Adjustable head rest etc. & the wheels were half the weight. Of course the "Yahoos" stole it, & that's inside the airport security area !! "Me not know, mon !". Had our company van nicked out of the security area at the SXM airport several yrs. ago.
Nice find:) it ready to work!
