Abstract
A mailbox is mounted to two perpendicular faces of a post by a mounting assembly main bracket with 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. For sale, the top brackets mount to the main bracket by a label sheet wrapping the top wall and holding a fastener container.
