Quoted from Dayhuff:I wouldn't say I "collect" them, it's more like I've "acquired" them. I have two that are plastic for newspaper delivery and the only reason I have them is because they say Battle Creek Enquirer on them. The glass one I have is probably 100 years old has the mounting bracket but is missing the lid which I hope to acquire or make one for it someday. The fourth one is a cast iron type thats in good shape. I need to find a place to display the last two, just not sure where yet...

Display outside /porch John?
Cheers and merry Christmas
Quoted from JayDee:I’m with dayhuff. I wouldn’t do a thing to it. It’s in really great shape. Exactly the way I would want it if it was mine. Take a look at this crusty mess.

Not sure boys...careful exact repaint wouldn't ruin value ..would look incredible refinished. Edit: referring to your pic
Quoted from Dayhuff:Possibly, gonna be a while before I do anything with them though so I'll give it some thought. Thanks!!

I'll have a look at your lawn pic and make a proper suggestion
Quoted from gambit3113:Ya'll goin' to the fed pen for stealing mailboxes.
