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 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.

Nice, eye cathing phone. April 19, 2008
i bought this phone for my roommate for Christmas. It is very heavy and feels solid and well made. It is no an everyday phone since it is best held when used. It works well and sounds good while talking on it. People on the other end say it sounds like a regular corded phone. I like this phone and its style factor.
