Back in the 1970s and 1980s, in the days when we all had corded home phones, there was a strange fad. People owned phones that were shaped like other things. There were phones shaped like cats, phones shaped like like Mickey Mouse, like lips (yes, bright red lips), like footballs, and countless other objects that have nothing to do with phones.
Because I was a nerdy child, my first phone was a "starship phone". It was shaped like a flying saucer and light up when someone called.
Not surprisingly, some of these phones are now collectors items. This is especially true if they are in good shape.
