Details: A beautiful, detailed, handmade pewter model of the VR Type B pillar box, at a scale of 1:19. History: This box was made between 1887 & 1901 by Andrew Handyside & Co of Derby in two sizes A (large) & B (small). After 45 years of piecemeal development & the adoption of national standards, the 1887 design brought together elements found on most pillar boxes up to the present day: cylindrical shape, fluted cap, royal cipher, the words Post Office, the plate & tablet with details of collections, a weatherproof strip on the door & the manufacturer's name at the foot. Ideal for: A wonderful collectable item, for those over the age of 14 years. Measures: 8cm
