At first I too thought that was hand made. I have made a few like that myself. That however has a sticker with the manufacturer and model # The # is w 9744. I can almost make out the other information. If I had a magnifier I think I could get enough to do a search. Maybe the sticker is for auction but it sure looks more official. If you you want 5 I would think a good fab shop could build them for the offer. The trouble is liability. I would check west marine, e trailer, search folding step.
The sticker is a lot number for the auction house/site Purple Wave.
Just curious if there are enough folks that want a high quality folding step and willing to pay the $300/$400 it would take to commission a production run of 10-12 units. I'm asking because I spent 25 years in the machine tool and fabrication business and still have contacts with hundreds of job shops in the Southeast. I'm sure I could find one that would build replicas. Reverse engineering that sucker is not that big a deal. Any shop with a CNC plate burner or waterjet could do the side plates and butterfly easily. Two bumps with a brake and ready to weld.
