Quote from the British Postal Museum: "This box has the scroll Edward VII cypher. Wall boxes of Edward VII’s reign started off with a plain cypher but a new contract with W T Allen in 1904 meant further changes, one of which being the redesign to the scroll cypher used on pillar boxes. These boxes, however being larger in size had this type of cypher from 1901."
