Thank you very much for your email dated 4 Jan 2019. Please kindly be updated that the top structure of Postbox 157 had been aligned to the original position. Photos showing the current condition of Postbox 157 is attached in the below PDF for your reference, please. .
I am writing to bring to your attention that the top of the structure in which Postbox 157 (Liberty Avenue/Peace Avenue, Ho Man Tin) is embedded seems to have been detached and is misaligned (see attached photo). I am worried that it might eventually fall off.
Note: Top of the structure in which the postbox is embedded looks to be detached and misaligned.
Really impossible to tell from behind that there's a postbox embedded in the front!
1. This is the first wall mounted postbox (嵌牆式郵筒) that the team report.
2. This type of box is quite rare and old, and usually comes with the crown. According to a website: "單門嵌牆式標準郵筒亦有不帶伊利莎白二世皇朝徽號的,如位何文田太平道的157號郵筒 等。… 有郵筒研究者認為這些不帶皇朝徽號的郵筒都可能是在香港本地鑄造。" See this for its sisters in UK.
3. When you check the online location list you'll see I've now created one more category "Special", besides the original "Old" and "New".
a. Old: If there's a crown or any other royal emblem, like ERII, on the postbox, it should be categorized as "Old" for our purpose.
c. New: For all others, please mark them as "New". If there's a new one that you want to report (could be for very personal reasons, so be creative here),send me the report and I'll then put it on our site.
Photos of different types of postboxes in Japan at a wikipedia site – they have a surprisingly large array of styles!
Most impressive effort by these Japanese postbox enthusiasts – there are 263375 pictures of their postboxes there! And from this on their site "ポストをひたすらマッピング 現在 122,747 ポスト (全国192,157ポストの63.878 %", they seem to have already recorded 122,724 postboxes, 63.878% of a total of 19,157!
Try to browse their site and you'll also find photos of their post offices and a google map with all postboxes location marked.
My hats off to this 日本郵筒搜索隊!!!
And, I've now joined them (my profile at their site http://postmap.org/user/lemonrunner; I used "google translate" to help me navigate) and of course also introduced our team blog to them.
1. http://www.postbox.com.hk/worldpostbox.asp: there are more than 200 photos of postboxes from all over the world on this web page of a HK company that specializes in postbox models. Most impressive!
Our new site is at: http://www.xanga.com/hkpostbox and all 10 old posts since 6 Jan 2009 (recording 11 searches by 7 members, with 8 postboxes found and documented – impressive!!!) have been copied there (with times backdated to the originals here).
Future 搜索隊-related posts written by myself (the search may be done either by me or another member) will be posted both on the new dedicated site and this personal site of myself. If a member gets the new site's password from me and posts directly there I'll post a link here and if that member agrees I'll also repost the whole thing here. So if you just visit my personal blog you still won't miss anything about the 搜索隊.
