Servants would collect the outgoing mail from the boxes and take to the post office

It features an IN and OUT panel, switched by a leather panel 

'RETURN AT' so that a pencil time could be written on the panel to indicate when the sender would be back to collect the mail

Bevelled glass viewing window for a quick check

Made in golden oak, original brass keyhole missing, otherwise in excellent condition

Dimensions:

Height 25.5cm, Width 18cm, Depth 8cm
