Title:
White and Grey Speckled Doorknob
Description:
White and grey speckled doorknob.
Notes:
Collection donated by Linda Wahto, brought in by donor's daughter Myiia Whistler. According to Whistler, Wahto and Willette Janes would hunt bottles together. Bottles found in Treadwell/Douglas area. Some are from Myiia's grandfather's house/cabin on the Treadwell Ditch. He grew up there — they tossed garbage into the ditch. Mom/Grandma and Janes would bottle hunt up at the cabin site.

Looks as if it may have been a doorknob for a door or cabinet. Rust deposits throughout surface and look as if from handle doorknob was attached to.
