-U. S. Post Office Box- still bank c. 20th century

This anonymous 20th-century "still bank" is a whimsical representation of a U.S. Post Office mailbox. The wooden box has been crafted to resemble a real mailbox, complete with a working lock and a glass window displaying the number "82." This piece, housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, provides a charming glimpse into American history and the enduring fascination with mailboxes. The artist's choice of materials and meticulous attention to detail contribute to the authenticity of this delightful miniature.
