Sidehack : Great mailbox.  Remember that from 1945 until 4 July 1955 mailboxes were painted olive drab - left over Army paint from WWII.  On 4 July 1955 the Postmaster decreed that all mailboxes would be painted red,white, and blue as they remain today.  Great mailbox printing, these not inconsequential and are somewhat hard to find although I think Dinky make a cast one in olive drab, at least they did in HO as I have one.
