Saw something similar when we were out in Lancaster, PA.
It's an old pump. Make some brackets to hold the mailbox.
Have to pour a concrete footing and set bolts to mount this puppy. It weighs a ton.
Still have to paint the brackets to match a d replace the bolt on top with a smaller one.

 

Nice!

I put in a new mailbox last year myself. Most of them in our neighborhood are the cheap-o wood type. I assume those are what the builder installed. And those who have "upgraded" mostly went with the god awful plastic mailboxes.

I went with the all metal post and mailbox. Glossy black. It's solid as a rock and looks very classy.

 

Wow

 

ooh, make me one.

 

Find another pump and I'll make you one. Took me a while to find one in good condition.

 

I bet you can sell them.

 

^ No doubt...etsy!

Looks great.

 

Does his penis pump count?

 

 

Maker?

 

Nice! I'd love to "pimp my mailbox", but we have community boxes like this:

 

Same here. I can't stand those things. And for some reason it drives me nuts that the lady down the street actually drives down to check her mail. Its like 6 houses!

Anyway, that's absolutely gorgeous. Very classy.

 

Pick up some sheets of carbon fiber vinyl and wrap that baby.

 

If it stops raining I will try to pour the footing this weekend.
It should really go well with the style of the house.
