Here’s another unique mailbox, an industrial foot-operated punch press -
From what I’ve been able to determine, these were common in the late 1800s into the early 1900s. Made of cast iron and likely weighs well over a ton!
Often used for punching holes in sheet metal, stamping small metal parts, form or bend metal with custom dies and rivet parts together.
Suppose this is a pretty cleaver way of repurposing this relic. Too bad it’s not been kept up and maintained.
