About this work
Model of a two-part ladder. The extendable part has a wheel at the top of each leg. The spindle and crank for extending are attached to the bracket of the extendable part. Obreen mentions in his catalogue another stick with a life-saving tube, which is now missing; attachment points for this are still distinguishable.
