Buying a 'Postbox' - something retro/vintage

Oldstyle1

I am looking to buy a good quality postbox.

I like the Old Time Look and really like the look of the traditional american postbox.

I plan to have it inside my front gates, at the bottom of the drive and have a picture of maybe black wrought iron stand with same colour postbox or maybe having the postbox different i.e. Red, Cream etc

Is there such a thing I can buy? OR

Can I buy the postbox somewhere and have the frame made up.....

I would also be open to other traditional vintage looking postboxes.

I was looking at this myself recently, and would have loved an old Irish one, but the prices are sky high

Not sure if they would be a little OTT for a house though.

Some others in that range

They are fantastic, wish I had the budget for one

Thanks Niman and Pinky123,

I love the Black Irish Harp Post box on that website but thre is no price on it.

THe Irish Green design one is really class too.

It looks like you only get the box. I was planning on putting it inside my front gates, what sort of frame would I need to get built for it.

Would they be nice on black wrought Iron frame??? I would also look to get one made up. Where would be best to good looking?
