Crosley 1920-CANDLE-BC CR64 1920's Candlestick Phone - Brushed Chrome

This Crosley 1920-CANDLE-BC CR64 is a modern day version of the Candlestick Phone and would have surely made Alexander Graham Bell proud. 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 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.
