I've long been fascinated by World's Fairs. I've been lucky enough to have attended several myself and have been collecting photos from them for years. I've even written books on some of them, as listed on my site www.worldsfairphotos.com.

Post Offices - Part 2
Let's stay with the postal theme for a while, shall we? We shall. We'll also stay at the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. This mailbox was outside the Denmark Pavilion. Guests could drop their mail into it, but only for delivery through the US Postal Service. The Denmark post office did get some publicity, though, for they sent a Danish mailman to deliver mail between the pavilions using a bicycle. I don't know if he was there for the whole fair or just for a photo opportunity, but he was there for at least a short while.
