Mailboxes: Treasures by Mail

Reviewed by:
Rosemary Thornton

In years past, old letters were often stashed in the steamer trunk in the attic. Now you can stash the new mail in a mini steamer trunk at the curbside.

This reduced-size steamer truck is a solid copper mail box, with handcrafted brass accents (such as buckles and rivets).

A natural, soft patina will emerge as the copper finish ages. Brass mounting hardware is included.

Treasure Chest Copper Mailbox is $200 (small), $286 medium (April 2006).

Optional post is $313 (small) or $370 (large).

Dimensions: 18" long x 9" high x 8-1/2" wide (small); or 23" long by 13" high by 10-1/2" wide (medium).
