THE HANDI TELE-REST

 I had to chuckle when I saw this.

The height of technological advance in the Sixties or Seventies!

Its one of those so-called fancy goods that filled little shops at one time. Remember those shops stuffed with crucial rubbish?

Now you can get them on Ebay still boxed! Its as if you can reach across time!


Yes, the Handi Tele Rest allowed hands-free phone calls before you knew you wanted one.

Essentially a plastic coat hanger, it fitted all phones no problem and matched the colour.


I never saw one of these must-haves at home when I was a kid or even in the office I first worked at in 1978.

Did you readers?

  1. I think some phone handsets had them moulded onto them. Bet there weren't any left handed versions!
