TYPE: TV/Movie Props
DIMENSIONS: Measures 50.25" tall (45" tall from bottom of faux stone)
COMPONENTS: This large U.S. Mail box is constructed of ribbed metal with hinged front door and red "flag" on one side. Both sides of the mailbox feature the EWING family name stenciled on in black paint. It sits atop a faux stone pedestal and mounted on a square plywood base.
CONDITION: The mailbox shows some sun fading from many days spent out in the Texas sun, light scuffs, and typical oxidation to be expected from exposure to the elements. The faux stone shows some chips, cracks and minor loss and it was repainted towards the end or after production. Plywood base has some edge wear and soiling from its many years of production use outside the ranch, but remains in very good vintage condition.
NOTES: From the The Comisar Collection. The Comisar Collection, Inc. is the most comprehensive archive of original television costumes, props, sets, and related ephemera extant. Since its inception in 1989, the collection’s mission has been to conserve and celebrate television’s tangible history, and its artifacts span the history of television from the first flickering moments of the broadcast medium to what was on TV last night.
