[GreenKeys] which model 15?

[david freeman]

I have one of each cabinet, the big WU Mailbox and the smaller Navy cabinet. The WU cabinet easily takes twice the floorspace as the Navy cabinet. I got mine back in the late '70s and have never saw another until this eBay auction. I learned from Perry that it was a Navy cabinet just a year or so ago.
