Beautiful, In Red by M. Formica on amazon.com Jan 23, 2012
We got this phone in a brilliant red. Its the perfect phone for our kitchen, and works much better than the cordless phone we replaced with it. Best part, in addition to the cool retro looks and clear looks, is that with the long cord on the headset ...
 
Fun, Fashion, Functional by Sueski on radioshack.com Sep 20, 2011
I used this phone daily, Im a bit hard of hearing so I need something with a clear ear piece. The phone is a great conversation starter and looks great in my kitchen (which looks like an ice cream parlor). The cord is long, so its easy to walk around ...

Summary: Preface: I was recently revisiting the January 2010 issue of Game Room magazine, and I noticed (on page 35) a captivating photograph of one gentleman's notion of a "fifties/sixties" retro game room featuring ...
 
1950s pay phone by Bear on amazon.com Sep 4, 2010
I like my phone it looks good and sounds just as good as some of the other higher priced phones and the headset is heavy but you have to be careful to put the headset back on the phone lightly so not to break it because it is plastic.Some people was not ...

Crossley 1950s broken after 3 days by geekay on amazon.com Dec 8, 2011
I was very happy to own this vintage phone (even though it's not cheap) and pleased at how easy it was to install and use. But after three days, it conked out. I hardly used it -- maybe a total of two outgoing calls and three received calls -- until it ...
 
Not sure of operation, but was made of cheap plastic by Sean on amazon.com Nov 9, 2004
From the look of this phone, I was hoping that the phone would be more of a metalic quality. While some parts of the phone are metal, there is actually a lot of plastic. I took it out of the box and it just had that cheap feeling to it. I do not really ...
 
Pay phone by Jenniferbeard on amazon.com Mar 11, 2012
It lloks great and is a wonderful conversation starter. However, the volume is so quiet you cant hear out of the reciever. I love the look I really wish it had not pooped on us after only a month
 
Cheaper quality than it looks by Marvin J. Bowe on amazon.com Jan 20, 2009
This product was cheaper quality than it looks online. I would recommend viewing on in person before purchasing online. This price was not justifiable in my opinion.
 
Plastic junk for a big price tag by pattiprn "pattiprn" on amazon.com Jul 22, 2007
This item arrived at my house yesterday and I was so excited to pull it out of the box, and then my mood changed drastically. I was very disappointed by the plastic everywhere. The hand held ear piece was the sturdiest portion of the phone. The cradle ...
