Edward VIII Pillar Box, Glasgow - G12 190D

Original examples are rare as Edward VIII only reigned for less than a year, from 20 January 1936 to 11 December 1936. After his abdication, most boxes bearing his cypher were modified or replaced. Quoted from Wikimedia.

A rarity indeed, Joe. I have been looking at the list, and some of the post boxes look very shabby. This one is not too bad, but does deserve a bit more care and attention.

The one in Dunfermline, Amelia, was recently vandalized. Thanks for your visit. Cheers, Joe

A very curious and interesting scene. The story of the short reign of Edward VIII is famous all over in the world.
