Please email with any questions. Vintage cast iron US MAIL letter box manufactured by Bridgeport Castings Company in 1948- the year is cast into the bottom. The box measures 20" tall with 8 1/4" by 13" base. The paint has been nicely restored. Included is the mounting bracket which is not repainted- it has a patent date of June 22, 1909 cast into the iron. There is no lock. There is a split in the iron on the back side and a bit of the frame that holds the mounting bracket is missi...ng- there is still plenty of frame left and should not affect the bracket much. Interior shows some surface rust.
