The coloured transparent body with colourful accents and sleek styling is *exactly* what you'd expect. The Swatch Twin Phone is not only a "looker" though, it also had a rather novel twist: as the name implies the telephone could be used by two people on the same call, with the handset and the body of the telephone both featuring ear and mouthpieces! This model has a deep orange (almost red) body with bright cyan and yellow accents. So 80s, or what?!

Whether you use it as a replacement landline telephone or simply marvel at the design on a shelf or side table, the Swatch Twin Phone will surely turn heads.

This one has not been function-tested and comes without its original box, but it is in excellent condition.

]]> Dinky “Displayette” clear plastic display shelf https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product/dinky-displayette-clear-plastic-display-shelf/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=dinky-displayette-clear-plastic-display-shelf Thu, 02 Nov 2017 18:01:19 +0000 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=1238 Back in the 1950s and 1960s Britain was a front runner in the world of engineering and design and we made things like this <record skip>. Err, we made things like this? Apparently, we did indeed make the "Displayette".  This is a small display shelf fixable to a wall via four small nails to provide an almost invisible support for items you wish to show off.  Think knick-knacks... small ones!

It's an unusual retro item, to be sure, complete, and with a box measuring 82x15mm (3¼ by ¾in). There is minor box and paperwork tear but otherwise it's in good condition. Apparently, once constructed, the "Displayette" measures 8cm by 8.5cm by 1.5cm (3 by 3¼ by ¾in).

"I say, how dinky!"
