WOODEN BOAT PHONE

1980s EA/IT/0052

This is one of the many figurative phones produced by a company called TeleMania. Under the motto of ‘crazy phones for classy people’ this company produced a variety of oddly shaped telephones in the 80s, such as this one. The boat phone came with different names on its bow, but all boat phones were united in the fact that when you were rung, you didn’t hear a regular ‘telephone ring, but the sound of a fog horn. The perfect way to feel at sea, even when you’re connected to a landline.
