Retro Phone - The Candlestick Phone - Brushed Brass - Crosley - CR64-BK

The CR64-BR Black Candlestick Phone is a replica of the Candlestick phone, also known as the 'Upright' initially became popular during the early 1900s before the introduction of the one-piece handset. The first Candlestick phones were introduced when the magneto system was in use, which meant that the phone was connected to a large wooden box called a "subset" containing a battery, bell, and crank. But oh have we come a long way. From its bell-shaped mouthpiece to its cloth covered receiver cord, this telephone replica recalls a vintage instrument from the 1900's. But a closer look at the CR64-BK Black Candlestick Phone reveals some modern technology including a decorative dial that functions as a push button for tone/pulse operation as well as a center medallion that serves as a redial button. This modern day version of the Candlestick Phone would have surely made Alexander Graham Bell proud.CR64-BR Features:Rotary dial with push button technologyRinger volume on/off switchTone/Pulse switchEarpiece volume controlRedial featureCloth cordFinish:Brushed BrassDimensions:6.5"(W) x 5.5"(D) x 11.5"(H)
