ID tower

I've got a tower with the twisted wire like that I've always thought it was a dempster but don't know for sure.

The tightener goes thru the girt instead of tower leg bolt

That is a re-purposed Dempster top. Standard bolting holes are not used here. I don't know about the early wires going through eyebolts, but it would be feasable.

Can you show some steps or a ladder?

Will post a photo tomorrow ladder is very narrow with flat bar rungs rivetted in place

Like the the one that started this post figure both towers are the same

T.hoop i thought we would quickly get your tower (and mine) identified may take a while longer. Do you have photos of your tower top and ladder

Okay let's try this...take a picture of where the twisted wire ends are put together. I will compare it to a Dempster slice, and a Stover splice. Usually they are unique to each maker.

I have seen those eyebolts before. I just don't remember what tower they came from.

Thanks to everyone for the help. The tower does not have the cap but I will post pic of the wire and ladder.
Later today.
