Interested in a piece of British History??
Here we have a cast of the crown of a K6 Red Telephone Box kiosk (phone booth). It’s cast in a fiberglass/resin of the TUDOR (KING'S) CROWN from a Pre-1939 Mark 1 K6 Original Telephone Box which was last affixed at Trafalgar Square, London, WC2N 5DS.
This cast has been turned into a unique piece of 3D wall art, presented in a black wooden shadow box complete with a plaque highlighting provenance.
The original box was manufactured at the Carron Foundry, Falkirk and is one of the earliest K6 Telephone boxes manufactured in Britain. This cast is an exact copy of the original crown.

History:
The K6 telephone box was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of King George V in 1935.
The crown emblem on the K6 model was molded from metal, unlike previous models where it was a series of ventilation holes.
The K6 was the first red telephone box to be widely deployed outside of London, and it became an iconic symbol of the United Kingdom.
