The Bell Telephone Princess Phone, which encased late-night whispers and heartfelt conversations in a stylish, modern box, was the 1960s equivalent of a teenager’s ideal phone. Oh no, this wasn’t your grandmother’s rotary phone—rather, it was the hotline for rumours and confessions about teenage crushes.
