The Lost Room/The Objects

Something happened in Room 10 of the Sunshine Motel in Gallup, NM, on May 4, 1961, at 1:20pm. The room and everything in it was officially wiped from reality. However, the objects in the room survived and they each have a specific reality-warping ability.

Outside of the Lost Room the objects are indestructible and do not age. When inside the Lost Room the Objects don't work. When an Object is placed in the Lost Room and the Room is 'reset' (by closing the door the re-opening it with The Key) the Object will appear in the room where it is 'supposed' to be, presumably where it was when the incident occurred.
