Going once! Old IoM post boxes up for auction

More than 40 lots from £60 to £3,000

There's a chance to get your hands on an old Isle of Man post box - up for auction this week.

The more than 40 decommissioned items ranging from pillar boxes, poles and wall mounted, in different levels of condition.

They date back to the Victorian era, Edward VII, George V and VI through to Queen Elizabeth II.

Not for the bargain hunters though, with the more desirable lots predicted to fetch up to £3,000.

They go under the hammer this Saturday (27 July) and you can view the items at the Post Office Headquarters in Douglas.
