Abstract
A mailbox signaling arrangement cooperably responsive to pivotal movement of the entry lid of a common rural mailbox characterized by a pivotal signal plate member and, optionally, the selective energization of a light source. Operation of the signaling arrangement is occasioned by the release of the aforesaid signal plate member (which is continually urged to a signaling position) as a result of entry lid movement, with the signal plate member also initiating operation of the light source when at such signaling position.
