Oh, don't tell me you found these in a museum! We had this style of post box when I was a little kid. I can almost remember how the inside of the Post Office smelled, looking at this picture. Our mom used to send us to pick up the mail when I was only about four or five years old, and my brother was three. We would take a bread sack for the Postmistress to put the mail in so nothing got lost on the way home.

Great find and excellent capture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice shot...

Great old office setting. Hope you get feeling better ASAP!

Great shot!

Fantastic colors and details. Excellent shot

For a great lesson on the Chickasaws, go to http://www.tolatsga.org/chick.html I've studied a lot about them since I married into that family many years ago. Fascinating stuff. Anyway, I like this find of yours and the capture is very interesting. I used to have a similar postal box when I first married. Very secure...like a safe. Sit in the sun for awhile today. The sun has great power to heal - but watch out of allergens.

Interesting shot, dear Richard. I sure hope you feel better soon. Hugs. Diane. xx

Very interesting Richard, I have never seen anything like this before, a miniature safe for your mail and combination locks on them as well. Interesting to note also one has a single combi and the other has two, I wonder what the reason for that was? Excellent capture, thanks for sharing. Bravo!!!!!

Wonderful find! Excellent, my mailbox in college was almost exactly like these. There was large L shapped room almost from the floor to about eye level of these, with small glass windows and a single dial. Great capture of a mailroom treasure.
