Vintage Railroad Step Stool Step Box Sign Plaque Emblem SANTA FE ATSF Morton MFG

Description

Hello. Up for consideration is a Vintage Original Santa Fe Railroad Passenger Car Conductor's Step Stool/Step Box that's in Excellent Condition. Looks all original, straight, solid and square showing signs of use, wear and age including some surface rust, some paint/finish loss, some discoloration and some marring/rub marks/scratches but I don't see any broken or missing parts. The thick black hard rubber feet are well attached which makes the stool extremely stable and does not wobble or move in any way. Marked on one end "Made by Morton Manufacturing Company Chicago" (plate is well attached...see photo 3) and on the other in 1 1/8 inch tall letters "A.T. & S.F. Ry" (see photos 1 & 9). Inside tray/box/shelf is well attached and measures 8 x 3 x 3 inches (see photos 4, 5 & 6). Stool has a base of approximately 18 by 24 inches, stands about 10.5 inches tall and weighs about 20 pounds.
Due to the size, weight and fragile nature of this item I'm unable to offer combined shipping.
