Post Office Door Bank #80 -Circa 1920s -Double Dial- Hard Pine:
$94.00
This Post Office Door was made by Corbin circa 1930 - 1954. It features a flying eagle similar to the USA Great Seal. It has two dials. To open you turn each dial to a specific letter. Instructions are taped to the bottom. It\'s about 5 inches wide, 6 1/4 inches high and 4 1/2 inches deep. It\'s a perfect gift for anyone, any age. Teach a child to save. Help an adult relive their past.The door is made of bronze. All of the doors I use in these banks had many years of service in a Post Office. Many of them are over 100 years old. I\'ve rebuilt them, cleaned off the grime and got the locks working smoothly. They are true works of art deco. Like with most of the wood I use this wood is reclaimed. I found a table (see picture) someone had abandoned at our recycling center. My first thought was to restore it but it had been left out in the weather and was in rough shape. I decided instead to salvage and reuse the wood. I don\'t know how old the table was but it had been put together with square nails. (See picture.) Quick research seems to put the end to the use of square nails in manufacture at about 1910. The table and the nails were over 100 years old. What surprised me in dismantling the table was the quality of the secondary wood. Research shows it\'s called, generically, \"hard pine\". I it liked more than the hard wood part of the table. The colors and grain are beautiful. There is a very interesting knot hole on the left side. I\'ve filled the knothole with epoxy but keeping the knot hole look.I think you\'d agree this wood shouldn\'t have been sent to the dump. I will include a few of the old nails when I ship the bank. I guess you could say almost the whole bank is made from recycled/repurposed materials.
