A real find for the movie fanatic. This is an iron door that, after it outlived its use in some old California mining town, escaped to Hollywood, where it was seen in such film classics as "A Tale of Two Cities" (1935), starring Ronald Coleman and 1963's "Courtship of Eddie's Father" starring Glen Ford and a very young Ron Howard. Although, these are the only two confirmed films, the fact that the door was part of the MGM scene and prop inventory, means that it was probably used in many more productions over the years. The door measures 75"x 27" and weighs in at close to 300 pounds. This is the real thing. It comes with an antique padlock and key.
