Here is the mailbox that inspired this blog. It was in Columbus, Ohio, on Dublin Road north of Trabue Road - no longer accepting mail, as a new cousin stands across the road. Send in your pictures of rusty mailboxes to join it!

RM #724

Flickr member Blueaster22 found this one that looks like it is not going to have much rust but it has just enough to qualify. 'Seems as though it does have other problems though, since it is tied up. It's on the Coast Road, West Mersea, England.

Thanks, Blueaster!

Jens Wende found this very interesting RM on the island of Sylt, Germany. Take a good look at this one. the flag has the design in the logo of the Tommy Hilfiger Company and the number 1985 is the year that Hilfiger introduced his signature line. The house was part of a Hilfiger promotion - here's a link. they built a similar house in New York. Here's a link to the building of the one in New York - you can catch a quick glimpse of a RM there, too, but it doesn't look as rusty as the one in Sylt.

Danke, Jens!
