Title: U.S. Postal Box Shelf
Post by: Flightfanatic on January 29, 2012, 12:58:58 pm
I went antiquing yesterday for my birthday and picked up this u. s. postal box shelf. I thought it was pretty unique, and would be a fun project to restore. Some of the combination locks are missing, but I found some spare parts on ebay that I could use to piece it back together. Does anyone know much about these? I haven't been able to find much information regarding its age. Sorry that the pics are so small, my cell phone camera wouldn't take any bigger image. Thanks for any information!

Way way cool. I've not pulled the trigger on buying an individual box, they show up on Ebay frequently, but it is on my wish list.

Very nice ! From the looks of the casting and wear I'd say that is 1930's. Post WWII are more detailed.
Congrats
