Here is a photo of a real apple-tree ladder that was used on the old Knowlton farm where we now live. It is well over 150 years old. The bottom ladder is called a roof ladder, with hooks in the end. (Photo courtesy Marjorie and Calvin Dodge)
My love of old tools — what they were used for and the time period they were used in — has provided me with a great pastime of so many fun-filled days and evenings. I have truly enjoyed reading so many books and going to so many museums around the New England area.
