The Postal MailBox just a Memory

Greetings, This time I will write about postal mailboxes that have historical value. Maybe we will remember the old days if we wanted to send a letter.

There the letter will be entered into the mailbox in line with the development of technologi, sending letter has been replated with via application media such as washap, massage,email and other.

But sending the letter is still there, just not put in the post box, but coming to the first used by the Ducth Colonial Government in 1929, at the Batavia post office, now Jakarta Capital of Indonesia.

This post box was then used in other
Cities in Indonesia around 1864, this post box is in front of the post office in Sukabumi,West Java, I happend to come and take photo,the post at the top of the postal mail box it says Brievenbus its Dutch because at that time Indonesia was still control by the Dutch.

Brievenbus into Indonesian is Kotak surat at the bottom middle it is written Buslichting which means it is lifted. Collected and there is a pick up schedule a clearding to the pick up time.

Then the words Bienponrock Reigepulft 1911, that's the name of the factory or company and the year of manufacture, and all the writing in the mailbox uses the Dutch language.

The material for making mailboxes is made of cast iron, measuring about 36 by 52 wide and about 150 centimeters high, made in the Netherlands.

The process of sending letters such as, entering letters into the mailbox bus equipped with a clear destination addres and pos tage stamps according to the shipping cost.

At certain hours the content of the lettee in the mailbox are taken by the postal officer,then the letter is collected recoded,then sent to destination addres. Letter in the post were a means of communication with one another. Thank you.
