Postal Boxes & Mail Slots

The popularity of the decorative mail slot was at its climax in the 19th century when the written word was the primary mode of communication. The postman trudged from door to door, delivering letters by inserting them into the slots that are today inadequately sized to receive the bulky deliveries of the modern postal system. The inside plate was usually without ornamentation, and has often been lost or discarded over the years; the plates were frequently overlooked due to this absence of decoration.
