    The hotel behind the giant mailbox is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_Claridge "The Hotel Claridge was a 16-story building on Times Square in Manhattan, New York City, at the southeast corner of Broadway and 44th Street. Originally known as the Hotel Rector, it was built of brick in the Beaux-arts style in 1910–1911. The 14-story building had 240 guest rooms and 216,000 square feet of space. It operated for 61 years until the building was demolished in 1972 and replaced with 1500 Broadway." Look at the mouth of the football player in the Camel ad to left of the mailbox. From the Wikipedia page "One of the most enduring images of Times Square is the “Camel Man”, who blew cigarette smoke rings around the clock from 1941 to 1966 from a billboard mounted on the Hotel Claridge." See in blog about neon that includes the camel sign www.nytimes.com/2019/05/10/multimedia/neon-signs-vintage-...
