OLD Engine powered end control truck

I have a photo of and old engine-powered stand-up end-control truck and am trying to figure out its brand/make.

Haven't figured out how to attach the photo here but could send it to anyone who would like to see it.

Snowman is correct. It is a Lamson Mobilift, Pre 1950 at least. I posted a photo of one today which includes short info on company. No question....Lamson Mobilift.

It is definitely not a Namco.

I believe you are correct. possibly a Namco, worked on a later model than this picture, looked similar.

I don't think that it is. To my knowledge, Lewis Shepard only made electric trucks.

Could be a Lewis-Shepherd (spelling?)

It is a hugely old truck that I would guess was made in the 1940's to early 50's. I don't know what the make is but an educated guess would be that it is an Automatic. Automatic was purchased by Yale somewhere in the 1960's.
