Abstract
A signalling device which is mountable on a rural route mailbox comprises a housing which encloses a light fluorescing material and an activating element which extends exteriorly of the housing. The activating element is triggered by opening the mailbox door, which moves the light fluorescing material to an exteriorly observable position within the housing where it emits a visual signal to residents that mail has been received.
