Other Information

In Photos 1-3 the Mail Pouch sign is partially exposed behind the layer of insulbrick; however, in Photo 5, Google street view (Nov. 2021), the remaining vestiges of the sign have been covered over. Hopefully, one day the owner will realize that a symbol of Americana is covered with the insulbrick and the Mail Pouch sign will once again be displayed.

Where to find it

*GONE (covered over)* PA Rt. 309 north of US Rt. 22 (Lehigh Valley Thruway); west of Allentown, by about 3.5 miles. The barn is on the left side of the highway headed northwest. The MP sign faced southeast. One end. Black.
