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 #1003


Both sides of another one on Leap Road in Hilliard, Ohio.  Again, here can be found the Google Street View - looks like one was changed since the Google folks went by.

RM #1000

Two or three times a week I travel on Leap Road in Hilliard, Ohio, and notice a few RMs but I usually can't stop.  Today on the occasion of RM #1000 I made a special point to capture a few.  So here is Number One Thousand - you can see it here on Google Street View - perhaps it wasn't as rusty when Google photographed it.

RM #116


This rusty mailbox on Hayden Run Road in Hilliard, Ohio, is possibly unique.

The big rusty mailbox hangs there and holds a modern plastic one. The house it serves is an old one built in 1880 so maybe the owners didn't want a modern monstrosity in front of their vintage abode.

Heather Weddle spotted this one. Thanks, Heather!!

July, 2011, update another such aberration was found west of Chicago - click here: RM #507.

RM #115

My daughter Heather spotted this one and # 116 on Hayden Run Road, in Hilliard, Ohio, and told me about them so I went right out and captured them.

Thanks, Heather!

Three RMs Today!

As we were driving on Hilliard-Cemetery Road in the Columbus - Hilliard area of northwest Columbus I spotted three rusty mailboxes.

Three close to home

RM #9:
This one is one Fishinger Road in Norwich township between Hilliard and Upper Arlington. To me it looks like it's made of thick iron or steel so probably the rust will not destroy it soon.


RM #10
Here's one in Columbus on Dunlavin Glen - I think the house is empty, perhaps new residents will spruce up the mailbox.



RM #11
This one is on Dublin Road north of Fishinger - the winter and maybe a snow plow have taken a toll.
