There are some kinds of mailboxes we don't show. Commercially-made mass-produced plastic covers is one thing that disqualifies a mailbox — usually. David Aber noticed this a couple of weeks ago, warned me that it's just a cover, and said he likes it anyway. I do too!

Another amazing mailbox — and more. Thanks, thanks, David!

Nice, isn't it? David Aber found this mailbox on or before February 21st, when he emailed me the photos.
