This invention also consists in certain other features of constructlon and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to
therein and 3 indicates an angle shaped arm' having the vertical portion passing through the eye bolts so that the 'llOllZOIltEll portion can be swung to yarious positions. A brace t connects the outer end of the horizontal with one hand graspin g the upper part of the 5 post and "with the feet resting upon the ground, the parts being so constructed that when the post has its lower end placed in a hole in the ground or preferably in concrete 7 placed in the hole, the feet. ofthe figure 45 will rest on the ground, as showninFigure 1. The horizontal part of the arm 3 l/Vhen mail has been removed from the box or placed therein, the parts can be swung to a position wherethere will be no danger of the parts'heing struck by a vehicle on the road and then when it is desired to reach the box, a person in a vehicle can simply reach over and seize a part of the device and draw thebox to a position where themail can be placed in the box or removed therefrom. V
This invention also permits the user to remove mail from the box or place mail therein without crossing the gutter at the side of the road and the box can be swung out of the Way when the road is being repaired by a road machine. v f

What I claim is 'A mail box holder comprising a base embedded inthe ground adjacent a roadway and having a socketfopening outwardly through the top surfacejthereof, vertical post hav ing the lower end embedded in the base adjacent the socket, eye bolts secured to the post, a L-shaped support having the vertical portion thereof extending through the eye bolts and received in the socket and bearing against the bottom Wall thereof, a brace con nected to the horizontal'portion of the support and to the vertical portion below the lowermost eye bolt; to prevent vertical displacement of the vertical portion from the socket and from the post, and brackets attaching'amail box to the horizontal portion. In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
