For the Unicorn Lover! Seen these Standard Mailboxes called Victorian, and made of brass and this one looks brass and is non magnetic. Very unusual design with a Unicorn! Seen many with flower/ leaf motif. Screws look like Philips head type so guessing post 1930’s.
Has original back plate which is loose but included, see it had adhesive holding it in place long ago but dried out so would need to be reattached but new screws should help hold it in place. No mounting hardware/ screws included.
Reads Standard on the larger flap. This Standard box was know for these type mail slot boxes way back in the day. Condition is good especially for the age. Older box with tarnishing, scratches, scuffs, greening, verdigris, nice Patina, showing good age and looks great!! Just mail box shown is included with original loose back plate. Need detailed cleaning and back plate mounted back on if desired.
Outside measures 5 1/4″ wide x 11 3/4″ tall and around 3″ deep. Nice weight at hair under 4 pounds counting backplate. Two holes for mounting one hole inside locking flap and would go through backplate hole if remounted and one mounting hole at bottom that shows. Box larger flap for letter removal has hasp for you to add a padlock and secure. Letter flap opens and closes fine as larger flap and latch. Has cool swivel flap over peephole to see if any mail came.
Guessing made 1930s- 1950s. Cool Old Mail Slot w/ Unicorn!!!! Please check pictures for description and condition.
