I have seen the tern 'ladder anode' used in the description of some
tubes for sale on eBay. Can someone explain what this term means please?

Cheers

** God you are dumb.

The phrase refers to the *appearance* of the anode structure, particularly
of ECC83s and 82s.

Ladder Anode is the single most over valued attribute of the tube,
but, it scans well ...

Happy Ears!
