Product Description
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 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.

I was born in 1942. The first phone that I ever used was identical to this Crosley except without the rotary dial. I would pick up the receiver and ask the operator, by speaking into the mouth piece, to connect me to a phone number. This Candlestick phone is a "blast from the past" but with call-waiting and redial. It requires no electricity so that when our electricity is out for awhile due to a rain storm for example or the cell phone's battery is dead, the Crosley still works because it's a land line. What a great conversation-piece!

The sound quality of this phone is exceptional. I was so pleased. I would recommend this phone to anyone who is looking for a candlestick phone replica.

I was a little nervous about the functionality of a candlestick phone because the part I speak into isn't by my mouth, it's on our nightstand! But, it works great. I can keep lying in bed and just turn my head toward the nightstand and people hear me fine. It does take some time to get used to holding the ear piece since it's so different from any other phone I've ever used.
The phone also has a very solid/sturdy feel. I'm not sure what the other reviewers who called it "flimsy" actually ordered!
The only thing I don't like about this phone is that the numbers are in bright red. That part really looks weird.
I'm sure I will love this phone for as long as we continue to have a landline!

I bought this phone because I remembered the Candlestick Phone from when I was a kid and always liked it. This phone not only looks great but it also works great. The only negative is the fabric covered wire is much thinner than the original wire.
