Friday fun: The postman once knocked twice

0

Attention, postal junkies: Here’s a look at a door knocker used by nineteenth-century mailmen to save wear-and-tear on the knuckles.  Interesting to learn that the mailbox requirement came about only a century or so ago as an efficiency move.

See–even then, what is now the U.S. Postal Service was trying to cut work hours. Thanks to the Smithsonian Institution for the info.
