Not sold
This lot comprises two vintage folding step ladders of varying construction and materials. The first ladder is an A-frame design constructed from lightweight aluminum, featuring five rungs including the top platform. It is fitted with black plastic or rubberised end caps at the top of the side rails and flared feet for stability. A white rectangular adhesive label is affixed to the upper side rail, however, the text is not legible as a maker’s name. The second ladder features a green-painted tubular steel frame with four treads constructed from slatted timber. This unit is designed with a high, curved safety handle fitted with a red plastic or rubberised grip, and the top wooden platform is hinged to allow the ladder to fold flat. No manufacturer’s marks or labels are visible on the steel and wood ladder.
Condition report:
Both items exhibit heavy signs of use and utility. The aluminum ladder shows surface oxidation and scattered white paint splashes across the frame and rungs (photo 1). The steel and wood ladder shows significant white paint splattering over the green metal frame and the wooden treads (photo 2). The green paint on the frame shows thinning and wear, particularly at the joints and base, and the wood treads show darkening and surface wear commensurate with age (photo 3). Both items appear structurally intact.
