I did not realize they could be on either side??? Are they both equally as common?

Now Ill have to go and see if I have one... The ladders are always on the fireman side... til now...
I understand how this could happen in the production, stamping and punching before embossing and folding.
That's what I thought too. I did take a peak at the bay and did seem to find a couple with the ladder on the engineer side, but most were on the fireman side. I think you are right, I could see it too. Normally they probably got stamped and the operator would keep the sequence uniform. Maybe on occasion a couple would get flipped over in that stack before they got embossed. That would make perfect sense. And very hard to judge how common or not the variation might be. Really dependent on how neat and tidy the operator was really. Or maybe one operator set them flat in the stack and a different operator turned each over to make their stack. Lots of possibilities.
