US Post Office frontispieces in Eastlake style, made of quartersawn oak. There are two separate side-by-side panels. Includes the original metal swinging-door cage gates on the front and the original bronze plaques // General Delivery / Stamps & Envelopes //. Other panel says // Money Orders & Registered Letters. This is a spectacular pair with one panel missing the upper gingerbread portion, which is not noticeable. These two panels are exceptionally fancy, perhaps from a Post Office in a large city with a higher throughput. They are quite beautiful! First panel measures 38 x 15 x 90 inches, and the second panel is 36 x 15 x ~90 inches, c1890s-1910.
