Brass Mailboxes Are Affordable and Nice

By Sidney Lawrence

There are many reasons to buy brass mailboxes over wooden ones or metal ones. For one, they're very easy to mount to a wall. Choosing the right type of brass mailbox can also be important. Some are 100% brass, while others simply have accents.

You might want to look for a brass mailbox that has a flag that moves up and down, depending on whether any mail has been dropped into the brass mailboxes. Another perk that you may appreciate is a newspaper slot.

Another great thing about brass mailboxes is the wide variety of custom options you can add to yours if you like. For example, a neighbor of mine has a brass mailbox in the shape of a pig. I've seen another one in the shape of an airplane. You can easily base one around your interests.

You don't have to look locally if you're looking for brass mailboxes, as so many online stores give you the ability to buy these at great prices. Here are a few of the manufacturers you may be able to buy one from.

A California company that goes by the name of Salsbury Industries is one of the leaders in the space, and a very well established company. You may want to look at their inventory.

Those looking for another source may be interested in Architectural Mailboxes, another company based in California with an established presence in the brass mailboxes scene.

The cost of a brass mailboxes is another factor that should definitely carry some weight with respect to your decision. Since this is far from a necessity, you'll probably prefer not to spend much money on it.

The answer to that question will largely depend on the make and the customization, if any. However, you should probably be ready to spend at least $50 for your brass mailbox, and up to a couple hundred dollars more if you want a custom one.

The next steps are to search around for some options and narrow them down to a few. You've done the research and it's all about going with your instinct from here. - 29941
