Watling Back Doors

[Frank]

I have a bunch of old, high quality Watling back doors. Some have a simple elevated panel, and others have the elevated panel with a central "W". Could they be original?

If you have had them a long time generally prior to 1983 there is a very good chance they are originals. Late 80's and on they could be repro's or a combination of. Repro's have a different gauge steel, so using a micrometer is the best way to tell the originals from the repro's.
