I am trying to find bricks that match my home. I want to build a free standing mailbox with them. My bricks are a yellow and blackish color and most places only have red variations.

Would anyone know a source where I could posibly get a matching brick.

Hank.

Did you try a mason supply yard in your area, they should be able to get you the yellow bricks, they may even be the yard where the mason got your bricks the first time.
The cost of shipping bricks long distance is expensive.
If you had to match bricks on the front of your house it would be differant, but for a mailbox post that is probaley at the street a slight differance will not matter.
