This is an original c1890s \"UNDERGROUND MINE SHAFT LADDER\" found in the mine you see in my photos. Mine Shaft Ladders make excellent display shelfs to display your mining artifacts on or you can display it by itself standing vertical. This ladder is 36\" long and 12\" wide and has three rungs. It was cut from a standard shaft ladder that was eight foot long asmost mine shaft ladders are joined together in eight foot sections. This original mine shaft ladder represents early day underground mining at it\'s best.. Where else are you going to buy a hundred year oldoriginal underground mining artifact this cool ??? ..Good Luck
