Product Description

From the Manufacturer

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.

Features:

• Rotary dial fashion plate
• Push button technology
• Ringer volume on/off switch
• Tone/pulse switch
• Earpiece volume control
• ETL listed
• 90-day limited warranty
• Attractive brushed brass-color finish

This interesting phone measures 6.5 by 5.5 by 11.75 inches and weighs 3 pounds. It is backed by a 90-day warranty.
