Dutch mailbox
1930 - 1955
This mailbox is known as the 'Holland letterbox;' named for its place of origin--an iron foundry in Holland in Bergen op Zoom (the Noord Brabant province in the south of the Netherlands). Anton Kurvers (1889-1940) designed this box in 1929 and continued to design different types of letterboxes for the Dutch PTT. The box was in use from 1930 until 1955, mainly in the larger cities of the Netherlands.
