We took a day trip to West Virginia. We saw many Rusty Mailboxes but were able to capture only the following, due to late spotting and traffic. These posted today are the first to be included from that state - I'm certain there are many more lurking the hollers! This one is on U.S. 35 and Ferry Lane near Fraziers Bottom, West Virginia.

There are a lot of pipe mailboxes on Monkey Rd—I suspect that one of the neighbors made all of them—but this is an especially good example, with the horseshoe standoffs for the address and horseshoe handle. The hinge looks homemade.
Each image in the lifeline (and in the mailbox) had a unique title. Upon entering the room you were handed a list of numbers and titles, each piece had a number attached to it and the title on the back, but the images in the lifeline were not in the order of the numbers. Depending upon which titles you haphazardly checked, every viewer was subconsciously told a different story.
This critter was waiting for me by my mailbox this morning. Any idea what he is? He sat there for quite a while... kinda gross.
While on a photowalk today, I met an older guy with a Nikon D50. We talked about our cameras. He showed me some photos in his camera from a recent trip to Chicago that he had taken. When we were done talking, he saw me getting ready to shoot this mailbox. He said, "Yeah, get that. They don't make 'em like that any more!"
When we got home from West Virginia, we found these guys all lined up in our yard....
Update 5/27/05: A couple months ago they moved to the yards of their respective houses--obviously there's been a policy change. Can't say I miss 'em.
This is my latest wood working project. I call it a mailbox safe since I feel putting a coin slot in the top and calling it a bank would ruin the look of the wood. It is made of red oak (3/4" I think). It was sanded down to a final grit of 600, burnished and then finished in tung oil (the bottom looks as good as the rest of it if you are wondering). The mailbox cover is from the town of Bushton KS and holds a particular significance to me in that it was where the mail was sent to my grand parent's implement shop. In other words if you sent in a check for service on your tractor or combine... that my grandfather had performed. it was most likely picked up by my grandmother from this very mailbox. The mailbox front itself is stamped 1957 and came with a card indicating its combination and reading, "National Lock Box Company, Inc."
