Retro Telephone Black

A statement of U.S. style, grace and elegance. This 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 the World War II while telephone design efforts were halted due to defense work. Whether for its beauty or its brawn, this Crosley Desk Phone is surely a conversation piece in any setting.

This is a touch tone phone and plugs into New Zealand jack points making it completely functional as a stylish everyday phone.
