Item No. 1198

We’ll move on to the next item. If you know think you know what Item No. 1197 is, don’t hesitate to let us know.
Rodney Borland of East Rochester, Ohio, submitted Item No. 1198. The item was attached to an oak front door in Randy’s home when he purchased it in 1965. The door has since been repurposed, but he did save it.
