    KGV (GRV) 佐治五世 (1910-1936)

    Manufacturer: Not inscribed on box

    據本搜索隊查證,香港現仍服役的八個佐治五世佐治六世郵筒的設計及皇室徽號,均與英國本土或其屬地及前殖民地的同年代郵筒有別,故相當可能為世界獨有。Our research shows the 8 KGV and KGVI boxes in Hong Kong bear royal cyphers different in design from their counterparts in UK or other British colonies (and so are some other details on the box). If we are correct, they are unique all over the world.

    Correspondence with HK Post on the small defect

    16/4/2012

    Dear Ms Chung,

    I thought I shared with you one observation of mine on the two KGV boxes when I paid them a visit today. I think the overall repainting was well done. However, minor paint peel-off is already noticeable on a different spot on each box (please see attached pictures). I do not want to sound nitpicky but given the paint job was newly finished, this perhaps reflects badly on the workmanship of the contractor engaged.

    Best regards,
    Sin Wai Man

    Dear Mr. Sin,

    Thanks very much for sharing with me your observation on the workmanship of
    the two boxes. Surely we will follow up with the contractor on the defects.

    Have a nice day!

    Mary

    Good News! 任務完成! 
    我們年檢時發現非常殘破的兩個佐治五世(1910 - 1936)香港現役最古老郵筒,郵政署通知終於重新漆油!(另外一個是位於長洲的依利沙伯二世郵筒。)

    Letter dated 5/4/2012 from HK Post:

    "Dear Mr. Sin,

    Please be informed that the repainting of Street Posting Box no. 66 at
    Cheung Chau, no. 91 at Hong Lee Road and no. 235 at Hoi Phong Road had been
    completed. We are aware of the unfavourable environment surrounding the
    existing location of the one at Hoi Phong Road. We are exploring the
    possibility of relocating this box is there is suitable location. Attached
    please find the relevant photos for your reference.

    With best regards,
    Mary"
