Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1221 Posts	Posted 09/03/2017 5:42 pm I've heard in the past these were used by church groups during functions for coat checks. They would get them all back or you would give up their coat ( It did sound plausible to me ). Cheers, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
