The common Johnny Seven phone set, but the nicer box art.
The Jostar / Cowan de Groot Disney phone set … made in Yugoslavia .
and finally, the clever Mattel-O-Phone (geddit?) where you can talk to your imaginary friends via the records supplied. Could never get it to work properly though!

I had a set of two Army-green walkie-talkies, but never did get a telephone. Yours are all great.
ReplyDeleteI love those Johnny 7 walkie talkies Will, I'd have really enjoyed using them in the garden wars I had with mates back in the Sixties! I had the Johnny Seven rifle so the walkie talkies would have fitted right in! Love the other phones too. The Mattel O Phone is amazing. I wonder what was said? Its a like a dial-up chatroom!
ReplyDeleteOh, we went through several sets of Military Walkie-Talkies (what an odd name!!) back in the day, everything from a fancy green plastic version of the "cups with strings attached" to actual battery-operated transmitter/receivers. It was like being in the COMBAT! TV show for real! SFZ
ReplyDeleteThe small ones were called “handie-talkies” as per the hacker magazine 2600.
