This is an exceptional example of a vintage telephone with a striking red handbag-inspired design. It was also nicknamed the Red Donut due to its resemblance to a doughnut.
These phones were popular in the 1970s and 1980s and were produced by companies such as Western Electric and Polyconcept. They had a distinctive round shape, with a dial that appeared rotary but was actually push-button.
Today, these telephones are sought-after collector's items, admired for their retro aesthetic and clever, playful design.
