Lot 450: Vintage Two-Section Timber Extension Ladder
A vintage two-part sliding extension ladder of timber construction. The side rails and squared rungs are joined and guided by iron or steel brackets, allowing for height adjustment. The wood exhibits a dark patina with visible grain and evidence of long-term industrial use. No maker marks, stamps, or labels are visible on the timber or metal components. The construction features traditional joinery consistent with early-to-mid 20th-century manufacture.
Condition report:
The item is in as-found condition with significant signs of age and industrial wear. The timber shows widespread surface wear, scuffs, darkening, and weathering. Metal brackets and sliding components exhibit surface oxidation and rust throughout. While the sliding mechanisms appear complete, the item has not been tested for weight-bearing capacity or structural integrity. Professional safety inspection is mandatory before any practical use.
