Collins \u0026amp; Co. - Sapulpa, OK\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPressed glass mailbox with embossed \"MAIL\" lettering to the front and \"VISIBLE\" mark near the upper body, fitted with its original hinged metal lid and carrying handle assembly. The transparent glass construction allowed mail carriers and homeowners to quickly determine whether contents were present without opening the box, reflecting mid-century interest in practical household innovations and streamlined utility design. The rectilinear form features molded stepped edges and a heavy base, giving the otherwise utilitarian object a distinctly architectural appearance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nShows moderate to heavy age-related wear including surface scratches, clouding, embedded residue, scattered chips, and oxidation to the metal lid assembly. A large visible crack extends along one side panel with associated impact damage and starburst cracking, though the crack has not traveled completely through the body and the box remains stable overall. Additional small edge chips and minor losses present throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n5.75\" W x 4\" D x 12\" H\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMM - C-21028 - 052826\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor information regarding shipping, please visit our Terms \u0026amp; Conditions page \u003ca class=\"GeneratedLink\" href=\"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/pages\/shipping\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Industrial Artifacts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44202164453419,"sku":"C-21028","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/8170\/files\/0208d080-edbd-557e-81d0-f3560a5baace.jpg?v=1781542216","url":"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/products\/vintage-visible-glass-mailbox-by-geo-f-collins","provider":"Industrial Artifacts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
