At Qualarc, we meticulously inspect all our brass products before they leave our warehouse. On occasion we find products that don’t meat with our high standards. Most of these imperfections are minor scratches, imperfections under the lacquer or buffing marks, but we can not sell these mailboxes as new. We are offering these brass mailboxes at a significant discount to customers who don’t mind a slightly less than perfect mailbox. Rustic handcrafted old world charm comes to life in the Provincial Collection. These elegant wall mount mailboxes are handcrafted one at a time from heavy gauge brass and copper in the old world tradition. Note the brass mailboxes have a lacquer finish to help protect them. To help preserve the polished finishes, we recommend a clear, no buff car wax. Clean the mailbox periodically with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Then apply no buff car wax. This Polished Brass mailbox is not recommended for corrosive salt-air locations. Factory seconds will have minor imperfections.
