Product Description

Product Description

A statement of style, grace and elegance. The 302 Series Phone was introduced in 1937 and was the first in the collection to incorporate the bell in the base of the unit. Designed by Henry Dreyfuss and originally cast in metal, this piece was later produced using a heavy-duty plastic housing. The retro style appearance is combined with a rugged construction earning it the nickname "The Cow's Hoof" because of its lipped hoof-style base. This early desk version served as the standard for the better part of World War II while telephone design efforts were halted due to defense work. Whether for its beauty or its brawn, the Crosley 302 Desk Phone is surely a conversation piece in any setting.

I remember my parents having a black phone just like this when I was a little girl. This phone has the same weight and feel like I remember! Every one who has seen it loves it as much as we do.

4.0 out of 5 stars Front heavy phone, September 17, 2007

By	D. Lewis "Debra Lewis" (Louisiana) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The red is a real retro red. Nice and heavy. Already getting lots of comments on it. The ring is great and not annoying like todays phones. The only issue I have is the earpiece sits a bit lopsided on the crade. Whats up with that?

4.0 out of 5 stars Red Phone, January 15, 2007

By	E. Altvater "Carol" (Upland California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love my retro style red phone, it's perfect in the kitchen. Besides the 1940's look it SOUNDS like a phone when it rings. It does have two draw backs, so I wouldn't have it as an only phone. First it is heavy, the part that you hold up to your ear is very heavy -- so I don't use it for long conversations. Second, it doesn't have a redial feature. But for occasional use in the kitchen it's great.
