sill holes

[tvanvranken]

Thanks for all the good "guesses". My client and I both got a good laugh out of all the responses.

The holes were on the bottom sill only and not at the top, and only on two of the windows.

We will probably never know the purpose as this was an estate sale.

Thanks again at least for the time to think it over.

Does anyone wish to venture a guess?

Thanks, todd

A Complete and utter guess= It was probably for some decorative little rail that went in front of the window.

I think I found the answer…the owner used them as cold air returns for when the windows were closed. They actually went down the wall to the cold air returns on both the front and the back windows.

Looks like a carpenter bee trap installed on the wrong side of the window.
