It's a First! Not Just Postboxes 19
This 'Vaudin' Pillar Box - in Union Street, Peter Port, Guernsey - is the only remaining one of its kind in use in 2002. Seven of these first experimental roadside boxes were cast in St Helier, Jersey in 1852 at the suggestion of the Post Office Surveyor and Novelist Anthony Trollope
