Mailbox (Fallout 3)

A mailbox or mail dropbox is a type of container in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The term mailbox refers to the many bent and rusted postal storage vessels littering the wasteland. The mail dropbox is blue, metal, and stands on four raised legs, while the standard mailbox is small, rust-brown, and sits on a pole. These were used by the pre-War postal service but now hold miscellaneous items. They contain minor loot, including cherry bombs.

As a comprehensive list of every mailbox in Fallout 3 would be unrealistic, but they can be found in the general area of pre-War homes or the remains of one, such as in Springvale or Nipton.

Contents
The standard mailbox may contain junk items, or even a letter from Vault-Tec denying the household's residency in a vault. They may contain various weapons, like brass or spiked knuckles. Mail dropboxes will often contain cherry bombs, random junk items, or weaker melee weapons, like switchblades.
