Abstract
A conventional mailbox is mounted to a dimensioned lumber post by a mailbox mounting assembly having a main bracket which mounts to two perpendicular faces of the post by two perpendicular flanges. The main bracket has a horizontal top wall from which two diverging sidewalls extend downwardly. The top wall has two sets of perpendicular slots, which receive two parallel right angle top brackets to receive the mailbox in a position either partially overlying the top of the post, projecting from the post, or offset from the post in a transverse orientation. Another embodiment has a main bracket with an integral top bracket, and only one adjustable top bracket. Yet another embodiment has two mirror image brackets which mount to different size mailboxes by their position with respect to each other on a post.
