Description:

This collectible phone card, produced under the TELEtICKET brand by AT&T, features an artistic design that symbolically represents global connectivity. The card prominently displays the denomination "10 Units" on the left side, with the iconic AT&T logo positioned above it, signifying telecommunications and the company's international reach. The red and white striped background behind the units number adds a striking visual element, enhancing the card’s aesthetic appeal. Designed for practical use in public telephones, this user card also captures the imagination through its thoughtful design—bridging art and function. Its well-preserved condition suggests value for both collectors and nostalgic enthusiasts, representing a time when phone cards were a primary means of paying for international calls.

The centerpiece of this card is an artistic illustration titled "Bridge Connecting Two Worlds." This creative image depicts a stone arch bridge resting on two hemispheres, each resembling a section of the Earth’s globe. The hemispheres emerge from a calm, reflective body of water, with grid-like land contours evoking the familiar graphical representation of a world globe. This design visually symbolizes how telephone technology connects distant parts of the world, emphasizing the unifying power of communication networks. The muted greens and blues of the water and sky backdrop lend a serene quality to the composition, reinforcing the idea of peaceful, seamless global connection.

The word "TELEtICKET" is printed across the top of the card in bold, uppercase letters, establishing a strong brand presence while also defining its function. Below the image, the phrase "Bridge Connecting Two Worlds" succinctly captures the card’s thematic focus and highlights the unifying role of telecommunications. Within the context of German phone cards and telecommunication user cards, this piece stands out for its blend of artistic expression and industrial utility. The inclusion of international branding—specifically AT&T—and its artistic visualization link it to both American and broader European telecom history, particularly the era when prepaid phone cards were prevalent before the rise of mobile phones.

This item belongs to a collectible niche dedicated to telephones and telephony on phone cards, specifically aligning with the "10u Bridge Connecting Two Worlds" series (Group 2 = 'AMSP#' Over Bar). Recognized by collectors as a German tele-ticket user card, its intricate design, clear branding, and evocative theme exemplify how art and technology were combined in telecommunications paraphernalia during the late 20th century.
