Unread post by montecarlojoe »

Came accross these today and they struck me as particularly bizzarre. Circular Telephone back playing cards.

A pearl-white slim-line push-button digital telephone with automatic last-number redial! A must for any individual with even the slightest aristocratic social standing.

Yeah, nothing really as bizarre as your telephones, though I'm glad you reminded me about the bowling pins. They were made in the 1970s and I think I'll put them up in the Japan thread of Worldwide. I have another of the Yutaka Kikuchi fanning decks, a different one that showed up at a local thrift store of all places.
