(Disneyland, c.1960s-70s) An original mailbox from Main Street at Disneyland. These functional mailboxes have been a fixture of Main Street since the park opened in 1955, allowing tourists to send correspondence with an official Disneyland postmark. The ability to truly deposit mail on Main Street contributes to the intended turn-of-the-century small town atmosphere, and countless souvenir postcards have passed through these boxes, sent to all corners of the world. The mailbox is constructed of heavy cast iron painted olive green. There is drop-down door in the hood of the box to insert mail, and a large drop-down drawer pulls out from the front panel for mail collection. "Carlisle Foundry Co Carlisle PA U.S. Mail" lettering is molded into the left and right sides and painted white. A large bracket is welded to the back of the box for mounting. The locking mechanism that secures the mail drawer is absent. The front Disneyland mail plaque has been recreated to complete the overall display. Measuring approximately 20"x13.25" and 9" deep, the box is in very good condition with some minor weathering, scuffs, and dings to the paint from outdoor use. This item may require special shipping arrangements, please inquire for details and estimates.
