Straight out of an old hangar, this collapsible aircraft ladder is the real deal. Circa 1920s, it was designed for mechanics to access the fuselage during service and repairs. Constructed of hardwood steps and pressed steel side brackets, it folds up like a concertina and still has its original patina of age and elbow grease. The hooked top was made to latch securely to the plane's frame, while the flexible desian let it collapse flat against the wall when not in use. A rare survivor from the early days of aviation maintenance.
