I think they are neat and hold so much. Mailboxes can take a beating out by the side of the road. That is why I finally got a P.O. box in town. Granted I only pick up my mail twice a week but with computers I really don't believe I miss much. Best wishes to you and your family for the year 2012. -- barbaraFolkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872424549721246994.post-46303921377834413102012-01-01T05:50:16.996-08:002012-01-01T05:50:16.996-08:00Hi Barbara:

We like having a large mailbox that can hold small packages (up to 12" high and 20" long) in addition to the mail. I see the bullet hole as well. I guess these big boxes are hard to resist for people who want to raise a little hell. Ours has not been shot, but someone did hit it with a baseball bat or something while driving by and managed to put a huge dent in the side of it. Great post. Thanks.<br /><br />ThomasOOHFhttp://www.typepad.oohf.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872424549721246994.post-74896012167375372572011-12-30T20:28:05.194-08:002011-12-30T20:28:05.194-08:00Love this letterbox, it's full of character!

I liked the whole thing, the funky post and box, the peely paint and even what I think is a bullet hole. -- barbaraFolkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872424549721246994.post-75428729617449425442011-12-30T17:37:40.088-08:002011-12-30T17:37:40.088-08:00I really love this mailbox and it almost looks lik...I really love this mailbox and it almost looks like a bit of folk art to me.

Maybe the owner used to do a lot of mail order purchasing and needed a big box.June Calenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00265808476144632255noreply@blogger.com
