Rainbow March - Mean streets - Red

Not Elizabeth Regina as I'd just presumed every time I used this post box but Edward Rex - you can see the Roman numeral VII now that I've taken a close-up. So much older than I thought (Victoria's son, he died in 1910).

Wonderful find.

[Mallory]

a fabulous red image

[Carole Sandford]

Wow I don’t think I’ve seen an Edwardian one! Great for red!

[Babs]

Wow what a rare find. There can't be too many of these made.

[Chris Cook]

Cool

[Helen Jane]

@onewing more common of course than Edward VIII - only 200 of those were made in his short reign.

This is a splendid close up showing the cypher so clearly.

[Phil Howcroft]

looks fabulous , love the textures

[Susan Wakely]

So nice to see these older post boxes.

[Beverley]

A perfect ‘red’
Very interesting too… quite rare possibly

[Babs]

@helenhall Yes. I saw a few Queen Victoria post boxes when I lived in the UK and George V1 and of course Queen Elizabeth but I have never seen either an Edward the V11 or Edward the V111

[Christine Sztukowski]

Wonderful texture

[Krista Mae]

Such a cool emblem, photo, and story! WOW!

[Pat]

This is fantastic, what a rare find!
I posted a picture last year of an Edward VIII post box found near me so it’s great to see an Edward VII.

[Tia]

What a great theme! And a wonderful closeup.

[Kathy A]

Such a fabulous find

[Issi Bannerman]

Interesting aspect - I'd have assumed Elizabeth Regina too!

[Kathryn M]

Great close up. Just shows what you see when you really look !

[Fisher Family]

What an attractive shot, and what a rare Edward VII post box - according to the Postal Museum website there were less than 200 of these created.
