2011Posthorn - Top Panel Posthorn Kr 50.00 x 5 - Collectibles

In the olden days, the mail carrier blew his posthorn to warn people to get out of the way as the mail coach approached. The posthorn was also handy to have if the mail carrier needed help, was waylaid or was involved in an accident. On approaching the farm where he planned to rest, the mail carrier would blow his horn to tell the farmer to prepare food and a bed for him. The posthorn was an important part of the postman’s equipment at that time and it was a familiar symbol representing status.
