Crosley Radio - Telephones & Accessories - CR64XX - The Candlestick phone, also known as the +óGé¼-£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 +óGé¼+'subset+óGé¼? 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 1900s. 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.
This modern day version of the Candlestick phone would have surely made Alexander Graham Bell proud. Push Button Technology Rotary Fashion Dial Tone/Pulse Switch Ringer Volume ON/OFF Switch Earpiece Volume Control Cloth Cord Color: Brushed Chrome, Brushed Brass, Black Size: 6.
