Sure we love the modern convenience of 2 inch Bluetooth headsets and tiny phones that you can fit in the palm of your hand. But what about the romance and nostalgia of when phones were new! When phone calls were only made for births, deaths and marriages?! When just lifting the receiver was a great bicep workout?! For those that appreciate original style and design, those days are back!
The Retro Classic Telephone is modelled on the iconic "Model 302" designed by Henry Dreyfuss. In took the world by storm in 1937 and became known as the "Cow's Hoof" for it's shape and sturdiness! And while these days, a new phone comes out every five minutes, this one saw the world through most of World War II.
The Retro Classic Telephone has all the looks and still some of the weight! Combining easy push button dialling with a classic 1930s look and featuring redial button, ringer volume on/off, tone/pulse switch and earpiece volume control. At 22(W) x 14(H) x 19(D) cm in size it creates a wonderful conversation piece (figuratively and literally) for any desk!
It's so realistic, you almost expect to hear a nasally voice on the other end saying "number please".
For those who appreciate the original and the retro, you couldn't give them a more perfect present.
