This piece is not your typical mailbox—it’s a solid brass saddle bag style, complete with curved side “magazine hanger” hooks. Most versions of this design were made in painted steel, but this heavy brass example is the rarer and far more beautiful find. The warm golden patina tells its age, while the weight and craftsmanship speak to its durability. It’s fully functional for everyday mail, but also stands on its own as an incredible piece of architectural salvage. Mount it by your door for practical use, style it indoors as wall décor, or repurpose it as a statement piece for holding magazines or dried flowers.
