Interesting Find

I came across this recently in a boutique. This was once at the back of a bank vault. What is now the top (where the string is for hanging) was originally the side. The back side which you can't see also has metal clips with numbers, but they're facing the top rather than the bottom as you see here. The boutique owner wasn't sure how it was used, but theorized that the numbers may have corresponded to safe deposit boxes. I've got it hanging on the door of my studio, and will use the clips to attach odds and ends that I'll enjoy looking at - sort of a bulleting board. Kind of cool, huh?
