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!

CloverFarms found this one on a deserted mansion in Glen Alpine, North Carolina.  For nearly twenty-six years I had a mailbox very much like this one.  When I can get a good photo I'll share it.

Thanks, CloverFarms!

Todd Deery shares this one.  He says, "The mailbox and bottles were found in a old family farm dump site behind my house in Wake Forest, North Carolina.  The mailbox had been smashed nearly flat between two trees that had grown up around it."



Thanks, Todd!

James Burden sends us this one found in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina.  He says, "First installed beside a north end dune in 2003 by Bernie and Sidney Nykanen, the couple inscribed the phrase: "Leave a Note" on the mailbox door. Inside was a journal and a pen. Since then, more than 100 journals have been filled with messages from passersby, ranging from cheerful vacation notes to anguished prayers. The Nykanens have renourished the notebooks as needed, and replaced the mailbox itself twice."

Thanks, Jim!

On Sunday, May 15, we ate at the Red Barn Grill in Hubert, North Carolina. After a very fine meal as we were pulling out of the parking lot I found these RMs.
They can be spotted in Google street view (click here) as well as the intracoastal waterway.
