The second best thing about postal museums, is receive mail related to them. Like this postcard and brochure from Bath Postal Museum (the UK).
On the postcard:On left: Victorian wall post box, removed from High Street, Keynsham, situated between Bath and Bristol.
Top right: George VI 'lamp box' from Bath area. These small boxes were frequently used in rural locations attached to a lamp post or telegraph pole.
Bottom right: Tramcar letter box, first introduced in 1893, for the convenience of passengers. It was hoped by this method, to ease the volume of mail handled by sub post offices.
True, so nice to see postal museum related mail - even in digital way, on your marvellous blog!
