Manufacturer description

Like the iconic post box, the Telephone Box went through many variations before this standard design was settled on. The first designs of the ‘red phone box’ were seen mainly in London. In 1935 the K6 ‘Jubilee’ design commemorating the Silver Jubilee of George V, went into mass production and was exported nationwide. These replaced all the non standard boxes around the UK and increased their numbers from around nineteen thousand to around thirty five thousand.

The design has changed little since then, and even today these variants can be found around the UK in cities and villages alike.

Model details

Gaugemaster Telephone Box (Pre‑Built) is supplied ready to use with a pristine finish. It measures 11 mm in length, 11 mm in depth and 29 mm in height. The manufacturer's part number for this model is GM461.

The design follows the classic British red telephone box that was standardised after the introduction of the K6 “Jubilee” model in May 1935, commemorating the Silver Jubilee of George V. The K6 replaced earlier non‑standard boxes, raising the total number across the United Kingdom from about nineteen thousand to roughly thirty‑five thousand. The basic appearance has remained largely unchanged and examples of this style continue to be seen in towns and villages throughout the UK.
