Super Rare Color Orange/red Made For The Usa Market Not Europe!!!!
Sergio Todeschini Telcer "Bobo" Modello Brevettato Mid-century Modern Phone. … more Super Rare Color Orange/red Made For The Usa Market Not Europe!!!!
Sergio Todeschini Telcer "Bobo" Modello Brevettato Mid-century Modern Phone.
The BOBO phone was designed by Sergio Todeschini in 1969 for Telcer company! A very unique designers item in superb mint condition!
The telephone was inspired by an old alarm clock. It's a great example of 1960s design! This bi color orange and red is the most rare of the whole series!
This was advertised by the famous ABBA group on their album Ring Ring. The phone is also in the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), New York, NY. From my understanding there were some made for use in Italy (Europe) and some for the USA.
This is wired for electricity for the USA and the original 4 plug is still original. It also has the numbers used in the USA with the letters underneath as back in the day, telephone numbers read numbers and spelled out words! Hudson-3-2-700!!! A popular ad on my local TV back in the day!!!!! Okay, back to the description!!!! I read somewhere that some were marked AT/T, but I have not looked closely nor have I ever taken it apart.
CONDITION:
Vintage Excellent. Original plug, adapter plug included!!! Still works!!! The telephone is in perfect working order!
All parts are 100% original, the speaker, the microphone, the cable, everything!
It is made out of heavy plastic, and the bottom is out of rubber so it doesn't slips. Normal vintage wear, some blemishes/scratches to the paint on the metal bells.
Measures approx: 6” x 9 1/2”.
MATERIALS:
plastic, metal, rubber
Own a piece of history!
