Colonial wall mounted mailbox

A colonial wall mounted mailbox is an excellent way to increase the curb appeal of your home without spending a lot of money. Furthermore, you get to interact with it every day and are constantly enjoying th e colonial mailbox. Several considerations are worth noting when choosing a mailbox. Most importantly, consider what the base metal is. The preference for the metal would be brass. Not only is brass tough stuff, it is a non-ferrous metal in contrast to a ferrous metal such as steel. Ferrous metals are typically coated with something such as paint, but over time the coating can be degraded through an abrasion or simply through natural wear, thus exposing the ferrous metal. At that point rust can occur, which has the ability to run down the side of your house and create rust streaks. When you consider that many Colonial style houses are white or some other light color this could be very unsightly. On the other hand, when brass is used as a base metal this is not an issue since brass does not result in unsightly rust streaking.
