Crosley 1920's "CANDLESTICK" Telephone
|
|
|
Product Code : CR64
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 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. This modern day version of the Candlestick Phone would have sure made Alexander Graham Bell proud....in
