Crosley 1920 Replica Candlestick Phone

Before the modern phones were released in the market, communication was made possible ages ago by innovative people. The first telephone, as we all know, was invented by Alexander Graham Bell. Since then, the telephone have evolved and improved through time. Communication was not limited to the ordinary landline phone when the mobile phone was introduced. Internet calls like Powwownow's free conference calls service also came out and made the communication landscape broader. It's always fun to go back in time and see the firsts and the original. Here, you will find a replica of a vintage phone in the 1920's.

This 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.
