This is an vintage post office box door that belonged to my husband's parents for many, many years. I believe they opened their box when they got married in the late 40's. Sadly, a couple of years ago the town moved the location of the post office to a newer more modern facility. But thankfully we were able to retrieve this--at a price, of course--but we are now the proud owners of this little bit of history! I love it! (Sorry the pic is a little distorted, still on the learning curve!)
Join in the fun over at Kelli's Show & Tell Friday!
How special! I had an opportunity to buy a few at 4 or 5 bucks a piece. Why why why did I walk away from those doors? Have a great weekend...Jen

What a treasure. I wish I had my fathers old mail box. I remember well going to the post office each day to check it after school.

I've never seen a P.O.box door like that. Very unusual. I'm glad you have it. Nice choice for Show and Tell.
ReplyDeleteWow. That would be a great thing to have. I remember going to the P.O. and getting mail out of one of those boxes when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful thing to have. Who'd have thought!
