Vintage wooden stepladder (Cliffe BN7)

This is a well-made and functional old-style wooden stepladder, at least 70 years old, spattered with decades of paint. The top step is a little bowed with decades of use, but the wood is in lovely condition, and it could either be sanded down and gleam as a traditional ladder, or be treasured for its decades of paint sploshes. I would love to hear from people why they want it and what they'll do with it!
