These patina brass mailboxes are stylishly hand-crafted and each mailbox finish is unique. The Polished Antique Patina (PAP) finish is it intended to be unique to each mailbox. Each mailbox is hand finished and will vary from one to the next depending on many factors including, temperature, humidity, and variations in metal composition. When new, the finish will have varying degrees of red, brown and yellow brass... with even some pink hues possible. As it ages, all of those colors will darken and dull, becoming more uniform with time. This is a natural brass finish, uncoated, and is designed to darken and dull with age. The amount of patina IF ANY (blue/green highlights), will not increase over time even if exposed to the ocean. Some styles, including most wall mount mailboxes, do not show any patina.

All installation hardware is included and is made from stainless steel.
