Unless you can show evidence that particular phone box is listed on a historic registry, it is ineligible as a mass produced object. Just because it is old and from a previous monarch's reign doesn't mean it automatic has historical significance.
I would accept those, go down the iconic route as those ate iconic to Britain and part if our culture. So long as it's not been repurposed for a defibrillator it easily fits criteria
If it's outside London there's a very high chance it will be listed. BTs cultural vandalism has left less than 5000 working K2/K6 boxes dotted around the UK with a high concentration in London. Less than 1 in 20 towns or villages still has one.
I love K6s, I'm 7 for 7 on accepted K6 phone boxes at present. I have a few more to try sub in the villages.
The description needs work. Try focus less on the modern times part, and work on the grammar too. My template description is:
One of a handful of remaining K6 telephone boxes. This particular type of telephone box was designed in celebration of the silver jubilee of King George V in 1935. This one resides on [street name] in [village/town name].
Also, make sure the supporting statement revolves around K6s being a symbol of British culture, which they are. It's not a guarantee to have them accepted but it will help.
Even as a defibrillator, they can still meet criteria as long as it's not the defibrillator itself that's been subbed.
These are rarer than postboxes. They should be accepted. Have a look at the crown. With a bit of research it will help you date it better.
Unless they're the cream/white ones in Hull, Beverley, and Cottingham. Those ones are as common as much and don't even have the crown at the top!
I see these occasionally to review in the UK. I Suggest just making it clear how rare these really are in the area.
