It's gotten worse and it's hard to open the mailbox without worsening the tears in the metal.

Try finding a metal fabricator- they can probably repair the flag or can make you a new one. It should be a easy fix either way! That was nice of the little thugs to leave the flag ;)for the love of a househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151787635612708698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-55768479803321449992012-01-29T22:04:49.781-05:002012-01-29T22:04:49.781-05:00Just saw this post, but I have this same mailbox a...Just saw this post, but I have this same mailbox and we love it. Some kids played a prank in our neighborhood and bent everyone's flags but they broke ours (but left it), so now we have no flag. I always wondered if I could get a replacement. I have had mine for 4 years so I was debating whether to clean ours with copper cleaner... have you done this or just kept the weathered look?Haus and Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08329242646493726932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-27001575623550319642011-11-14T09:54:11.664-05:002011-11-14T09:54:11.664-05:00I purchased the same mailbox in 2008.

At the same time, I am very sad to report that the door has developed rather severe cracks on each side - just from being opened and closed. How is yours holding up?Painted MoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12537632672894965133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-68728215261196978952011-01-27T00:31:29.463-05:002011-01-27T00:31:29.463-05:00I found your blog and am so inspired!!

Most often coming home with some wonderful treasures. It is so sad they are closing but fortunately not before you found that perfect mail box. It is perfect for your beautiful home.<br /><br />PS, Loved your most recent "finds" in your last post also.
