Superbe et plutôt originale .
Bonne semaine.

Love the country letterboxes!

45 gallon capacity: They must be expecting copious gallons of mail ;-)
Nicely presented, George.

Looks more like a 60 litre or 20 gallon drum.

Thanks for your comments on the drum capacity, see my comment at the foot of the thread.

I can see the merit in that one George, bring on the junk mail.

Just amazing...

We saw a lot of unusual mailboxes when we were there. Sadly the US postal service won't deliver mail to boxes that are not within their specifications.

The only real specification here, Ron, is that the slot to drop mail must be within certain a height range above the ground.

I kike the strong and effectively arranged horizontals and verticals.

a good start again ;-)))

These make me smile !

Many thanks for your comments and faves, everyone. You have prompted me to try to pin down the drum capacity (searched "vintage drums" on Ebay - there are collectors). I'd say it is a 12 1/2 Imperial gallon drum from the 1950s - dimensions of near 2 foot long and 14 1/2 inch diameter seem about right, also the placing of the bands. .

Outstanding capture!

They are unique, quite different to the letter boxes I have seen in N.Y. and Canada!
Great composition!
