Products 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 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 with Push Button Technology. * Ringer volume ON/OFF Switch.* Tone/Pulse Switch.* Earpiece Volume Control.* Dimensions: 6.5" w x 11.75"h x 5.5"d.
