Don't think we've seen this before - a collection plate holder from one of the new lamp boxes stuck on one of these Post Office Posting Box slots. Note the matching collection plate in the window above. Why the second one was needed is unknown #PostboxSaturday

The latest post box topper in Washington, Tyne and Wear #PostboxSaturday
The door on this George VI type A has been in an accident at some point. See the repair panel on the left side. It's always great to see old boxes and doors being kept in service.

📮A beautiful #Postbox topper on this #EdwardVII Postbox 📮 It’s along the Newport Road near #Godshill #IsleOfWight 📮 It’s a spring one with an octopus 🐙 & people & expertly knitted 😍🐙 We’re on a spring holiday here & I was really pleased to see this📮🐙 #PostboxSaturday 📮
Love our postbox toppers in town, happy St. Georges Day.
Also spotted in Winnall on a postbox
@DrHoenderkamp @drdavidbull a friend sent me a photo of this postbox topper in Tyne & Wear. Great work by someone. Ken in Ascot
It's 1 am and I have finished crocheting the postbox topper for St George's Day. I had no green yarn so I made the dragon from an old crocheted Christmas tree. It looks like a giant green rat! 🤣 I hope they bring a smile to some faces . ❤️ #StGeorgesDay #crochet #yarn #❤️
#StGeorgesDay One of our Postbox Toppers was made to celebrate St George's Day and today is the perfect day to share with you. This wonderful topper is one of 40 on display at the Cathedral until 2 June. 📸Marie Davey Photography
This charming Victorian postbox is on the 15 mile path walked by the Shap postman in #Cumbria until 1976. You can hear all about the lives of rural posties on the latest BBC Open Country radio programme. #PostboxSaturday bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
These days low post volumes have seen Royal Mail reduce postbox collections, but just a few decades ago volumes were so high that some boxes needed Sunday collections! They were marked with yellow stripes, as on this size A (large) George V wall box in Derbyshire #postboxsaturday
This 90s photo of a postbox in Devon was missing its collection plate, so collection times were painted on instead! We normally only see wall boxes without collection plates on "back door boxes" at old post offices, but it seems like this one fell off! #PostboxSaturday
What's your number one thing to take with you on a postbox adventure? (Apart from your #PostboxSaturday badge of course!)
This fantastic hand-painted collection plate remains at the postbox in the Caledonian Hotel, Edinburgh. Royal Mail still collects from it, though you won't find the box on their online map and the collection times are long out of date #postbox @WAEdinburgh
Postbox topper in Main Street Gibraltar this week - Easter @gibstamps #postboxsaturday #philately
A postbox with its bones showing from last weekend. #PostboxSaturday
The whole postbox with the Green Man topper that I posted earlier this week #PostboxSaturday 📮
This modern steel postbox in rural England seems nothing special until you look closer. Somehow its 90s collection plate has survived decades of changes from Royal Mail, including modernisation of the box about a year ago. #postboxsaturday
Happy Easter and happy #PostboxSaturday! This charming topper has been added to the Type C (oval) pillar box outside Sunninghill Post Office. The pillar box dates between 1993 and 2014.
