This was a semi-impulsive Ebay purchase… there was a “pop off” and I should’ve held back.  But did I?  No.

HOW COULD I LET THIS BEAUTY OUT OF MY GRASP?!

Ahem. I don’t know much about the Postal Service Station made by the American Adjustomatic Corp– clearly a precursor to today’s APC.  It seems to have been made in the 1950s, although the text on the map and rate list are from the 1970s.  It didn’t come with keys to the locks, so I’m going to see if I can pick them (easily) and find out if I can actually get it working.  How cool would it be to get stamps out?

Any suggestions for learning more about this thing?  Some Googling just gave me that basic info above…

Also, prepare for ALL my photos to now be staged on or around my Postal Service Station.  Jon says I’m slowly building a shrine to the mail.  That might be true.  I’m also going to take a break from Ebay for a bit… the postal collectible area was just too much temptation.
