Post boxes
I collect post boxes. No, not full size one but models. I think there are a couple in the loft and we also have a bird box in the shape of one and a tea/coffee pot.
But apart from those the rest are on a couple of shelves in the study.

The blue one for air mail is truly eye-catching! I don't think I've ever seen one in real life.
ReplyDeleteThere were very few Air Mail ones produced and the only one I have ever seen is in the centre of Windsor. It's principally kept as a tourist attraction.
DeleteSuch a lovely collection! Thank you for sharing your special items this way, the cat one is especially fun to look at.
ReplyDeleteThey're wonderful, I have one, but now I see there's room for improvement.
ReplyDeleteI doubt it would be possible to gather a similar collection of Swedish postboxes (usually a square yellow box on a post or hanging on a wall, and not half as iconic as your red pillar ones) ...
ReplyDeleteFAB collection! Best of the New Year to you dear friend!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fine collection. I had a pillarbox fridge magnet once but that's as far as it went.
ReplyDeleteI hope 2017 is good to you and yours!
Great collection!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand the fun of collecting postboxes and have a few small postboxes, too (small = only a few centimeters height), a tiny red old Dutch one (made of metal), a tinier red lego mailbox and a playmobil (yellow, German-like) one :-)
