What an interesting video as always. Keep up the good work!

[@APinchOfHistory]

Thank you!!

The ones shown are the K6; the K4 had three equal-width panes, rather than a wider central one. There was a model that had a postage stamp dispensing mechanism at the back, but that wasn't very successful as they suffered from damp.

Its very nice and interesting that telephon red boxes are the bridge between the past and future... Keep go on...

[@APinchOfHistory]

Haha, thanks!

Nice video. I also like the cut of your trousers. Do you happen to know the brand?

[@APinchOfHistory]

Haha, lol. Thanks! I don't know really I'd have to take a look.

Very interesting the past is

[@lizj5740]

Gosh. I didn't know the red boxes were found in the British (post -1783) colonies. Learn something new every day! Love from Liz and Ginger in Australia.

[@APinchOfHistory]

Yeah, great you found out something new!

[@wnrr2696]

I have one in the town I live in that is used for books

[@APinchOfHistory]

Oh, great! I love that.

[@wnrr2696]

I wonder if there is a list of the book ones so I can go on a swap hunt

[@APinchOfHistory]

Well, good question. If I were you I'd try to look it up on the internet :)

How about you show the DAMN PHONE.

[@APinchOfHistory]

The video was about the telephone boxes, not the telephone.
