George VI post box

This stunning cast iron King George VI Royal Mail post box comes finished in hand-painted red. Constructed from a combination of a cast iron front door & pressed steel rear box, the post box benefits from a sturdy and durable feel. This iconic design dates back to 1896, when these smaller "lamp boxes" were introduced to supplement the larger traditional pillar boxes. The design was originally intended to be mounted on street lamps, but can also be mounted on poles or embedded in walls. This post box is finished with gold "Letters Only" lettering, together with the traditional initials of the reigning Monarch at the time, in this case King George VI. Comes with 2 keys.
