| Crosley's Kettle Classic Desk Phone captures the essence of the classic 1930's European-style telephone. This beauty was originally cast in a heavy-duty metal and then later reconditioned in a lightweight thermoplastic giving it a more stylistic approach and curved design. The Kettle Classic Desk Phone successfully combines industrial technology with design-inspired craftsmanship right down to the classic cloth cord. This "fat style" phone features a substantial "hoof" and true to the original incorporates a mechanical bell in the base. |
| Customer reviews |
| This phone is smart looking and goes well with my decor but it doesn't ring and I'm going to have to send it back after I call to get my shipping label to return it, repack it and wait for return... its such a hassle. I would like to recommend this phone to a friend but I'm afraid it may not "ring". This is a pretty important feature. |
| This product was fully working for me, no problems found yet. Beautiful look, beautiful sound, and unlike what some others have said, the ringer is totally not that loud. Not much more to say.. was definitely worth the money, imo! |
I'm really very pleased with this phone! The authenic ring is delightful and surprises everyone. The push button, but looks like rotary, dial works smoothly. The size is good for desk top or nightstand. The only minor negative is that the plastic body doesn't quite have the same vintage feel as the metal or early heavier plastic. The picture also showed the phone with a cloth cord but it came with a plastic one. All in all-
Great! |
| The 'kettle classic' desk phone brings back the idea that an everyday object can work well and also be pleasing to the eye, unlike many of today's styleless and charmless utility objects. Simple to set up, simple to use, it works very well and sounds better to the person called than does a genuine antique telephone. |
| I bought this phone for my 1923 California bungalow, to put in the phone nook in the hall. Fits the bill perfectly. The dimensions are good (another reproduction was too deep) and it even sounds like a period phone. My only minor complaint is that the item photo shows an old fashioned straight cord from the receiver to the base, and mine came with the more modern curly cord. |
