I just received a very crackily cell phone call from my brother who is in South Jersey. He called to tell me that while walking among debris he found a container with a rubber stamp in it. He remembers boxing with my family years ago and thought I might know what to do with it. Once he gets his electricity back and the cell phone towers start working better I'll get the information, see if it's a letterbox and try to contact the owner. Amazing that it made it's way into the hands of someone who knew what it was.

That is a really great story and I hope all goes well in returning the box to where it belongs!

My brother mailed me the letterbox he found after Hurricane Sandy and it's heading home! It was 'On The Beach' and traveled about 5 miles north with the waves to end up in Forked River NJ. I have contacted the owner and will be mailing it back to them this week. It lives to be stamped in another day!
