About the Item
Step into history with this remarkable cast iron spiral staircase, once a part of Boeing Plant 2 a legendary factory built in 1936 in Seattle, Washington, USA. This architectural piece has a rich history tied to the production of some of the most iconic aircraft of the 20th century, including the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, Boeing 307 Stratoliner, Boeing B-29 Superfortress, and even the early Boeing 737s.
Boeing Plant 2, a massive facility spanning over 1.5 million square feet, played a pivotal role in the development of military aircraft during World War II and beyond. To protect the plant from potential aerial attacks, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers created a unique camouflage system, constructing a fake neighborhood around the facility, which earned it the nickname "Boeing Wonderland."
Now, you can own a piece of this rich history. This spiral staircase, salvaged from one of the most important industrial landmarks in aviation history, is not just a functional piece—it’s a story of innovation, secrecy, and resilience. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a collector of aviation memorabilia, or someone looking for a one-of-a-kind architectural feature for your home or office, this staircase offers both aesthetic beauty and historical significance.
The manufacture was Acme Ornamental Metal Co. a well-known manufacturer of architectural metal products, including staircases, railings, and other ornamental features, particularly in the early 20th century.

Monumental Oak Spiral Staircase With Massive Oak Trunk in One Piece ± 450 cm
Located in Baambrugge, NL
A monumental, completely free-standing, dark oak spiral staircase. The central newel of this very large spiral staircase consists of an entire solid oak tree trunk, which is made into a strong pole with a diameter of 30 cm. Because of this, the bullnose steps around it have remained firmly in place for 150 years without sagging.
The oak round edge (stringer) that surrounds the steps consists of large, hand-worked, strong pieces of oak that show the extraordinary craftsmanship of the stair builders.
The banister consists of a wrought iron railing that on wrought iron spindles or balusters with rosettes, starting with an ornamented cast iron hand baluster.
The underside of the stairs, between the stringer and the central newel, was originally plastered. This plaster had to be removed in order to break out the staircase in one piece, without cutting it. When the stairs are placed in a new house, plaster can be applied again. The photos show how we got the stairs out in one piece by breaking down an inner wall and an outer wall. The original plaster of the stairs is also clearly visible in the photos.
The measurements are:
Total height: 448.5 cm
22 steps of 19.5 cm high plus the last step to the landing is 23 x 19.5 = 448.5 cm
Step width: 77 cm
Width bottom step: 88 cm
Depth steps: 9 to 46 cm, in the middle of the step ± 30 cm.
Pole diameter: 19 cm
Total staircase diameter (including the handrail): 175 cm
Height of the round outer edge of the stairs 20.5 cm.
