Device Tells When Mail Has Arrived

Device Tells When Mail Has Arrived FARM HOME Miscellaneous 29-5-41 I thought your readers might be interested in this simple device I put on my mailbox to tell me when the mail has arrived. It pivots on a 1/4-in. bolt in the lower corner of the square side piece. I added a roller bearing to the end of the "trip" lever in order to prevent scrapping the paint off the door of the box. The photo explains it better than I can. The flag is great when the weather is bad because it lets you know when the mail is here. (Bob Hudspeth, P.O. Box 51, Era, Texas 76238 ph 940 665-5942)
