A collection of four portable ladders and step stools of various designs and materials, comprising one multi-position extension ladder, two double-step stools, and one single-step stool. The multi-position extension ladder is constructed from aluminum with hinged sections, locking mechanisms, square-profile rungs, and black plastic or rubber feet; a small white adhesive label is present on the upper left side rail but the text is not legible. The collection includes two double-step folding stools with safety rails; one features a white-coated tubular steel frame and the other a grey-coated tubular steel frame, both fitted with black textured treads. The single-step folding stool features a polished steel frame and a metal tread. This tread is embossed with the readable manufacturer name YOUNGMAN.


Condition report:

The aluminum extension ladder shows signs of moderate use including surface scuffing and oxidation throughout the frame (photo 1). The white-framed step stool has minor chipping to the white coating on the safety rail, though the treads appear intact (photo 1). The Youngman single-step stool shows visible surface oxidation and pitting across the polished steel frame (photo 1). The grey-framed step stool exhibits heavy scuffing and paint loss to the tubular frame and moderate wear to the treads (photo 1). All items appear structurally complete.
