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 #1480

old_newstead_boy found this one at the entrance gate of Haddon Hall - a medieval manor house in Derbyshire, United Kingdom. the E R with the Roman Numeral V11 refers to the fact that it was installed during the reign of Edward the Seventh who ruled from 1901 to 1910 so this box is over one hundred years old.

Thanks, o_n_b!

Here's a rusty mailbox that isn't really a mailbox and it isn't actually rusty.   Edward Howat shares it - it is a prop for a recent production of the musical "Carousel" presented by the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow.  I wish I could have seen it.  





Thanks, Edward!

Eric Moore shares this one in Pinetum Park and Gardens, Holmbush, St. Austell, Cornwall, England, UK.  This is one of our oldest entries as the V R stands for Queen Victoria and her reighn ended in January, 1901.  As you travel through the United Kingdom it is fun to look for the regent's mark on the post boxes.

Thanks, Eric!
