37. Russian old postbox
 |
| Почта России |
A card with a postbox from the Republic of Bashkortostan came to my own postbox. It is an old Russian box and the photo was taken by Denis Demkov. If you are interested in it, it is sold online at PostcardID.ru. The back side of the card is printed too: it has a coloured politic world map. Spain is cream coloured and Russia peach. Matvei is a 5 years old boy who sent this card with the help of his mom, but he didn't forget to sign the card! So sweet.

Oh, I love it. Sadly I don't read Russian so I can't work out how to buy it on the site but I have asked Matvei if he has another one.
ReplyDeleteThe cards at this website are very beautiful. I hope Matvei will share one with you too!
DeleteI love postboxes, too. I have a few I need to share if I can get around to scanning them. I think the youngest postcrosser I've received a card from is about 8 (a Ukrainian girl living in the UK who wrote out the card hersef) and I sent a card to a Dutch boy who is only three. It's cool to think of people of all ages doing this!
ReplyDeleteThe youngest postcrosser I have met was a 2 years old Dutch girl to whom I sent the decorated envelope. Since then, I think I have sent and received several cards to/from children. I wonder who enjoys most this project: the kids or their mothers?
DeleteBut my weirdest recipient was a cat called Anubis. I had a lot of fun preparing that card!
