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?
[edit]Thanks to the oracle (RoadsideAmerica.com) and some quickie Google searching, here are some more Air Mail boxes:
If you have pictures or links to posts on your blog, please leave a comment, too!
[edit]My friend Hammy, saw this one near Mohnton, Pa!
There’s one near my office, but I recall only ever seeing a small handful over the years. I think a wind sock would be a great addition.
Okay – I expect photos on your blog then. Let me know when I can link to your post 😉
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.
😀 glad I could be of service!
Yes I have seen them before. There is one on Old Woman Springs Rd. in Johnson Valley, CA.
Awesome! I’ll have to see if I can find it on google maps. unless of course you have a pic on your blog to share with us 🙂
Never seen them before, but now I’ll be looking up…. way up for them. Fun idea.
Aren’t they silly? I love kooks 🙂
There used to be one in Etters, PA. I’ll have to drive buy it and see if it’s still there.
Here is one on Old Woman Spring Road in Calfiornia
