Place to see: Reunification Palace, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Vintage Cell Phone
A communications device in the "Mobile Radio Section" of Saigon's Reunification Palace. Judging by the combination of receiving and transmitting equipment, integrated power source and convenient carry handles, it would appear to be an early cell phone.
About this place:
The Reunification Palace in central Saigon has a long and checkered history, but is best known as the place where North Vietnamese tanks charged in to end the Vietnam War in 1975. What makes it a must-see, though, is the kitschy interior: Green leather armchairs, pink telephones, porcelain vases, romantic paintings, hunting trophies, embroidered carpets, miniature gardens, model boats, modernistic rocking chairs and military paraphernalia all clash delightfully throughout the building.
