In the category “Not original, but collectible” I have bought another new type of Ericofon. Next to the Nichco metallic phones, and CEAC painted there is a nice third category. These are the ‘fuzz’ Ericofons. I don’t think that I mentioned them before.

Originally this Ericofon was a flat Sahara from 1969, but now the surface is furry and soft. It is a structure applied on the original shell by so called ´flocking´. ´Flocking is the application of millions of tiny fibers onto an adhesive-coated surface to create a velvet-like texture´ according to wikipedia and that is exactly how it was done.

Although the flocked summery structure with its bright yellow color is quite vulnerable, it still looks good.

The fuzz Ericofon was a product of phone companies in the 1970, to enlarge the standard color-set. As far as I know there are 4 colors of this type: Green, Red, Blue and Yellow. At least these colors I have seen.
