Crosley Black Candlestick Phone (CR64) Feb 26th 2013, 16:03 Category: Electronics Vendor: Rotary Dial Fashion Plate with Push Button Technology Ringer volume ON/OFF Switch Tone/Pulse Switch Earpiece Volume Control Red Product DescriptionColor: BlackThe 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. This modern day version of the Candlestick Phone would have surely made Alexander Graham Bell proud.
