Is There a Registry of Air Mail Boxes?

If there isn’t, maybe there should be. I know of 3 such Air Mail boxes, all of which I stumbled across in the wild.

Was there a time when these things were all the rage? I almost want to make one for my own house just because they’re so silly.

This one on Route 8 near Otis, Ma. is one that I’ve passed dozens of times. I finally stopped to snap a picture of the weekend.

I saw this one back in August of 2009 – Route 23 in Hillsdale, NY

And finally in a rather serendipitous twist of fate, while visiting a friend’s new house last summer – their neighbor had an Air Mail box. Perhaps it is a sign that I need one in my life.

Have you ever seen an Air Mail box?

Thanks to the oracle (RoadsideAmerica.com)  and some quickie Google searching, here are some more Air Mail boxes:

My friend Hammy, saw this one near Mohnton, Pa!

    I’ve never seen one of these and, to be honest, I didn’t even know of their existence until you showed them to us. Thanks! Very clever idea.

    Yes I have seen them before. There is one on Old Woman Springs Rd. in Johnson Valley, CA.

    Never seen them before, but now I’ll be looking up…. way up for them. Fun idea.

    There used to be one in Etters, PA. I’ll have to drive buy it and see if it’s still there.
