When I lived in New England, the town I lived in was a very rural area. Every house in town sported Classic Mailboxes mounted on a post in front of their houses. The mail was delivered by people who drove their own vehicles. The mail delivery person did not walk from house to house, the mail delivery person drove from house to house. Most of the mailboxes were old, rusty, and beat up from being hit by snow plows during the course of the long cold snowy winters.
So it was with significant interest when we moved down here, to a different rural area that did not have those same issues with snow plows to see a variety of styles and colors of Gaines Mailboxes and Keystone Mailboxes scattered randomly along the rural roadsides. I suspect that more people in New England would own nicer mailboxes like these if they weren’t always thinking about the snowplow wiping out their investment!
