LETTER BOXES . Big Ones Little Ones, Some with a Bit of ?

Here is Your chance to show US your favorite Pictures of a Letter Box .
And Please , Don't hold back . The Weirder the better .

I will start off with this PIG, made from an OLD Gas Bottle .

LOL. I like it!! Ours is just a regular old mailbox that leaks. Needs to be replaced.

I am told this is a His & Hers .

I really like those. That's more my style! lol

I have the ultimate one for YOU .
It's on the other Puter so I will have to go find it .

I sure wish I had a picture to show you of a mailbox I used to often drive past when I lived in Pennsylvania. When I first saw it, the box was painted with tabby-cat stripes, the hatch was shaped and painted like the cat's face, and the flag-lever was its tail. When it came time for re-painting, the box metamorphosed from a cat into a raccoon.

Sounds like a really cool mailbox!!

Ginger, still waiting....

I have been saving this for Ron , later on .
But with the obvious interest I will show it now .
Can yall tell what it is ?
It is 6 ft. tall .

Ok, that one is coming over here to my yard. lol

The belly is a 44 gallon drum .
I thought you might like it .

Yeppers. I love it. Reusing items and making it into my favorite animal. Yep, belongs in my yard alright.

Paul might make you one .
I'll ask him for you .

LOL. I think my mail lady would have a heart attack the first time she sees it. But go ahead and ask him. Tell him he's gotta deliever too. lol

Sure glad i put my glasses on before i posted .
i thought it said litter box ?
LOL

Hi tazzy
As I tried to say in the intro:

Hi Tazzy!! Haven't seen you around here much.

Ginger, you keep telling yourself that. lol. I don't have any pictures of mailboxes that are crazy. Ours is plain, old and leaky.

OK , It looks like it's up to me Yet again .
Just as well I came well prepared .

By the way ,
There will be a prize to the best LB at the end of this thread .

Cute

Spotted this while out taking Pics of Mountains & Letter Boxes .
I've included an arrow to show where I live .

Hah! That's a great bit of Photoshopping! Very good, ginger!

Thank you Marylyn ,
I try hard to please .
It's the artist in me .

LOL. Good one.

Here is my latest Little Jewel .
I asked the owner what it was and he said a Deer .
So who am I to argue with that ?
I thought it looked like a Springbok ?
Not sure about the spread of the legs though .

Well, that's a unique deer. LOL. I personally think it looks like a big dog.

I think the ears and eye lashes give it away .

LOL

A letterbox from Cairns . ( North Qld )

And another .
Wonder if it still works ?

I guess people around here have no Imagination. I would probably run into one of those gawking while driving.
That is probably another reason. The school bus flattened our mailbox turning around last winter, then the plow truck backed into it a week later.
Hate to see one of these cool ones get flattened.
P.S. the last one would get trash picked for sure.

lol cpartschick .
Their milk is delivered in that MO .
Keeps ants and flyes & Dingoes away from it .

Milk delivery.....way back....in my memory....I remember the milkman coming to the door and placing milk bottles in a tin insulated box. That had to be almost 50 years ago. I was way little.

50 years ago in US ?
But still happens here . lol
Just no more glass . All Paper cartons now .

We use plastic for milk cartons now. But alot of companies are going back to glass because they taste better, are reuseable, and the milk doesn't spoil as fast.

I like that last mailbox. lol. But I would have the same problem as chick. Maillady turns around in our driveway and the trashmen would probably think it's trash. If they weren't sure they would probably come up to the house and ask about it. lol

LOL Pep .
This one is bolted down .
No one will take it .

They will here. My town is not known for people leaving things alone. If they want it they will take it.

Oh, I don't think the trash guys would take it, but the trash pickers would. The neighborhood here throws out some good stuff, as in many areas, where people are buyers and don't have room for all their new stuff, so out goes the old. (it is a shame). There is so much waste.

In towns and cities, the trash pickers are a boon. No need to take the old stove/washer/drier to the dump, or pay for it to be hauled away, just leave it at the bottom of the driveway and it is gone the next day. However, in the countryside there are no trash pickers, and although we have an official dump site, a few folks find it more convenient to tip their unwanted stuff into ditches or ravines. As the owner of a ravine bordering on a back road, I am the recipient of unmarked, sealed metal drums; old tires; broken bottles; oil cans; garbage bags; appliances; you name it. If only I could make something attractive or useful out of all this rubbish, I would make a fortune.

I live in a very rural area, but we have trash pickup. Even with this, some state land is dumped on. We used to walk on state land and it was horrible the amount of trash dumped there. I can not understand why, when the whole area around has pick-up.
The only problem we see here is people throwing stuff in the river. What pigs. Sometimes things get washed in due to high water.
Poor dog, we are always throwing crap in the canoe on him and disposing of it.
Last week it was a dust buster hand held vacuum and some really nice copper tubing.
I saved the tubing, as it was pretty and I can make art or something out of it for the garden.

Do yall have these things your way ?
They are a regular street feature here .

Not around here. Great for the city though.
Our doggy prefers the woods, backs up to a big fern or bush and pretends he is hiding.
Never has gone in our yard, but when visiting friends and such he will leave presents in their bushes or on large ornamental rocks. (big dog, big presents)
