Description :

We've been told that landlines are making a comeback - particularly amongst some Gen Z folks who don't like being tracked by an iphone. If this is true, we have some finds for you hipsters out there! Take a look at these two landline phones:

A true "Apple" phone made in Hong Kong in 1985.- predates what we know as an Apple phone by over 20 years! Shaped like a red apple, we believe it's new given condition of the packaging inside. Pushbutton deck is accessed by lifting the top of the apple. Since the box seal had been previously opened, we removed the phone for photos and repacked. No wear noticed except on box from storage. Measures approx. 6" H. 

Frog on a Log phone made by Telemania ("crazy phones for classy people"). The phone has a frog sound ringer with the pushbuttons underneath the base. We believe it's new given the packaging and the fact that the instruction booklet envelope is still stapled shut. Like the phone above, the box seal was broken, so we removed the frog to photograph & then repackaged. Measures approx. 7" L x 4.5" H.

Please note that we were unable to test either phone as we got rid of our landline 2 years ago - guess we truly out of the "cool" loop...
