Well here's something QUIRKY !
I have had this for a couple of years now and have not seen anything like it.
It came from Vinnies.
A miniature ladder with eleven steps .... but ten of the the steps are made out of glass and contain mineral samples (?).
It folds flat.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
It 30cm or 11.8" long and 10 cm or 4" wide.
I suspect the wood is either cedar or mahogany.
Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

Many thanks NADIA !!!!!
Hello Vetraio may be made with the educational purpose as visual aid.
This is very very interesting find ... could this be some kind of use for a chemical lab? Im sure im wrong but just putting an idea out there. in any case anything you post Kevin is to be awesome and great !!! stunning oddities!!
thought it was a hamster ladder. lol nice find Kevin............
I m will Sean... It's so interesting
Maybe a display for a mining company?
that is a great comment aghcollect!!!
Thankyou Nadia!!
Very unique that's for sure! Has me scratching my head.
Many thanks everyone : SEAN, MIKELV, ROYCROFTBOOKSFROMME, POPS, AGHCOLLECT & VALENTINO too !!!!!!
It could well be educational, souvenir, mining, ......
Maybe I should know about more about the stuff inside the tubes!
Your very welcome Kevin!!!
You love my idea? or comment ?
You were right ..... I had toyed with the idea earlier but decided against it.
You have made the right choice!!!
that first picture is perfect love it!!!
OOh, it's larger than I had pictured in my mind... Did you just add picture one or am I fuzzy from my afternoon drink?
he added that one!!
Those vases are pretty small .... miniatures.
A Lang Hancock gift! Nah....it looks too old.
A trophy of the CFMEU establishment...they are 100 this year (that's the national miners union folks).
A souvenir of the Pilbara (or as we suggested Broken Hill)...bit too gentrified for the Pilbara.
I know ... it was Albert Chapman's....a gift from his wife!
No idea really.
Many thanks PHIL, FORTAPACHE, VIOLET-ORANGE 'n KAREN too !!!!
What an amusing thing! What are the vases (I probably should know from another post of yours...)?
Many thanks JENSEN. There are two Rörstand vases by Carl Harry Stålhane, a Gustavsberg by Berndt Friberg and a little Royal Doulton Titania too ....
Must be like some type of Advertising Premium of Mineral samples -- whether a few made, or very few made. Like an Salesmen Sample (of Sort) of what is mined, or their company handles. Great find KEVIN!!!!
~ Geological minerals/content certain areas/depth
~ Mining Company as to what they do
~ School Class
Just Super find!! I love it!!!
Many thanks ANTIQUEROSE !!!!!!
I will have to find out more about the mineral inside!
Many thanks PATSEA !!!!!
Kryptonite comes in many different colors! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryptonite, Check this ladder with a geiger counter!!
Thanks for the warning, mate !!!!!
Where's Boy Wonder ?
I love the vases Kevin!
Cool item & great talking point !!
May have been on the nutty professors desk as an ornament:-)
Many thanks SURFDUB, MELANIEJ, WALSOFTLY, GETHATMONKEYOUTOFME, IVONNE 'n AUSTROALEX too !!!!
Many thanks ELISABETHAN !!!!!!!
I really love the ladder! Very interesting!
Many thanks VINTAGELAMP !!!!!!
Many thanks TREY !!!!!
I was wondering if maybe this was for a geology class to show the different levels that the various minerals are found in the earth?
Maybe the 11 minerals necessary for life to form on another planet? Or the 11 minerals found in "goofy" Australian DNA animals only found Down Under! Like Platypus, etc. (joking)
Many thanks DON, AGHCOLLECT 'n ZOWIE too !!!!!!
Alternate DNA resources: marsupials!
Many thanks NORDICMAN 'n SURFDUB too !!!!
