Thanks for fixing the picture, couldn't figure it out myself.
I thought the same thing at first, Kaiser, but there's really no way to casually lean up against that part of the header with dresser bars in place. Possible, I guess.
And as for something melting on them, it's hard to tell from the picture but those are definitely deep "scratches" in the chrome, not something stuck on top.
Am I just making up 'heat damage', or is that a possibility?
