antique (?) wooden step ladder

If it isn't officially antique, it's gotta be close...???

This still surprisingly sturdy ladder is made in a unique way (by modern standards) in that its legs simply bolt together at their top, without any sorta top or front shelf or leg locking mechanism beyond the cotton strings seen in the pics. It bears the remnants of having helped paint many a room over its lifetime.

OSHA would definitely NOT approve... <lol>
