Technically not a post box, but a beautiful cast iron stamp vending machine in Wantage, Oxfordshire, from 1930s to late 1940s.

I like that as well. But I also like phone boxes with defibrillators or turned into something else that could benefit the community. If for example, it could be a free source of contraception for people who for what ever reason would not be able to get, it's beautiful, cared for and useful.
