I like to look for old Post Boxes in the UK and in Ireland where you can often find them bearing the Royal Cipher (i.e. the initials) of the various British monarchs over the years. The rarest are those put in place during the brief reign of Edward VIII who abdicated. In Ireland you can find them now painted green rather than the red used by the Royal Mail (of Britain). I like to think that the green paint shows how these post boxes transferred themselves from the British Civil Service to the Irish Civil Service instead of moving back to the UK.
