Mark Terrano (MarkoPolo)  > Tiny Houses > 2007-07-13, Loft Ladder
I found this great old oak utility rolling ladder on Seattle Craigslist - it is a beautiful oak ladder, lots of interesting wear and very very solidly built. I'll have to make a custom attachment for it - it is meant to go sideways actually - I just have it leaning there for now. I got the information - maybe i can find out when it was made and how it was used. I think this will be a great centerpiece of functional furniture for tiny house.

Mark Terrano (MarkoPolo) > This looks just like it - titled:  Western Electric #5 Crossbar Master Test Frame
at the Museum of Communications (Seattle, WA)  - I wonder if it is the very same ladder, I guess I should check out the Museum of Communications to see if they still have theirs.  At least the mystery of the little mid-ladder hooks is solved - thats where you put the hanging sign reminding employees to be careful and things.  

I found it here: http://www.dmine.com/phworld/switch/wexbar.htm

It looks like I have a ladder from a #5 crossbar switch, these were built between 1948 and 1969 - I was guessing 1940s by the construction and styling.

If you have more information, please post a comment.
