Abstract
A mail box signaling indicating apparatus made of flexible material to indicate when mail has arrived. The attachment end of the apparatus is doubled back upon itself in order to form a portion that may be clipped around a portion of the wall or other part of the mail box. The other end has a flag shaped indicia and is placed between the door flange and the outer wall of the mail box at the ready position. The indicating end of the device is urged upward by the resiliency of the material when the mail box door is opened and thus indicating that the mail man has been by.
