The postbox has been repainted so many times, although not recently, that the crown and Royal Cypher are no longer very sharp. There seems to be no definite figure for the number of surviving Edward VIII boxes in the country, but one source quotes about 130. But most of the figures quoted, which vary widely, seem to be based on pure guesswork. Image
