ABSTRACT:
A flag for visually indicating delivery of mail into an associated mail box. The inventive device includes a flag member pivotally mountable to a mail box by a spring loaded mounting assembly. A retaining assembly is coupled to the flag member for selectively securing the flag into a flat position relative to the mail box. The retaining assembly can be selectively released by mail delivery personnel to permit the spring loaded hinge to bias the flag into an upright position to indicate delivery of the mail.
