Original King George 6th VI Royal Mail Post Box With Back Cast Iron Genuine
Posted by: admin | Posted on: February 21, 2023









84cm High, 35cm Wide, 34.5cm Deep. Cast Iron, and I’d say somewhere in the 100kg region of weight. Possibly a bit more. I never had any particular plan for it, and it sat in the garage for a long time, has moved house with me twice, and was always on the to-do list. I finally blasted it, gave it a coat of paint, and whilst taking the lock out it disintegrated, so it currently doesn’t have a working lock. I’m waiting to speak to our lock expert at work, who might be able to rebuild it for me, or will try and find a left hand opening lock, which is a 4″ x 3″ chubb lock. I’ve priced it to take this into consideration. Comes with the non functioning lock and some collection plates, along with day plates. I gave it a couple of coats of red to stop any oxidation once I’d blasted it, it could probably do with another coat. This one had a good 10+ coats on it when it left service. It’s a gentle restoration, i didn’t do any metal repairwork to it. It really is a case of what you see is what you get. I was going to build it into a wall during the next step of garden work, but the only place it’ll fit is almost floor level, and it’ll just look a bit weird. This style of box was built into brick pillars and raised a reasonable height off the ground. It’s not a massively rare model, but it’s a nice bit of British history. Collect from NW Surrey, near J4 of the M3. This item is in the category “Antiques\Architectural Antiques\Garden”. The seller is “tonie666″ and is located in this country: GB.
