I had been saving those things for 10 years actually. Moved from England to US, flat-packed our crib, and somehow the shipping company managed to lose the headboard and footboard, so I had these three crib rails sitting in my garage all this time. I knew I would eventually find a use for them! (I also considered ripping the rails into 2 or 3 sticks each and using a doweling jig to make arrow-shafts -- still might do that with the other two...)
