Hello, has anyone seen door frames and door leaves that have been pressure-treated?

Wondering if it was used during the 60s and 70s?

Absolutely not for indoor use in any case. But as an old building engineer, I am educated in building history. It has never been mentioned there either. I have also run my own construction company for 15 years, and not during that time have I encountered it.
A door is also upright, which means it is not particularly exposed to "weather and wind." Pressure-treated was not very common in the 60s-70s either.
If there’s ever a situation it could be useful, I think of old houses, which sometimes had a pantry/pump house. These often had horizontal doors, slightly angled.
But now it's not certain that it hasn't existed. Some DIY enthusiast might have built their own door using treated wood at some point.
 
Thank you for the reply...

Thank you for the reply.

Our front door has some kind of stained paint over it that smells, but I wanted to see if it could have been a pressure-treated frame instead. But then it must be some oil paint or something.

Need to scrape it off and paint with good paint.
