Crosley 302 Wall Phone - Red

Product Description:
The Crosley 302 Phone returns to the wall in this Henry Dreyfuss tribute. Dreyfuss, considered a brilliant industrial designer, worked with Bell Telephone Laboratories designing telephones that were sensitive to consumers' desire to suit a variety of home environments. Well known for the 302 style Desk Phone, he later shifted his design efforts to include this wall unit allowing consumers to walk with the phone while cradling it on their shoulder. This unified and balanced form replaced the awkward and ungainly shapes of earlier models. Would you believe Dreyfuss actually used measurements from over 2000 faces to determine the distance between the average mouth and ear? The Crosley 302 Wall Phone features the nostalgic rotary dial but actually functions with push button technology. No more waiting for that rotary dial to make its excruciating slow rotation.

Product Description

A statement of style, grace and elegance. The 302 Series 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 World War II while telephone design efforts were halted due to defense work. Whether for its beauty or its brawn, the Crosley 302 Desk Phone is surely a conversation piece in any setting.

Great retro phone!.......2007-06-28

For anyone who wants a wonderful retro phone (i.e., not sure the era of it but it seems very 30s-40s to me), this is it. My grandmother had one of these and it certainly looks and feels authentic. It is substantially heavy -- the handset has weight to it, just like her old handset. We have an old house with a phone nook so this looks just perfect. I thought the price was pretty reasonable too. We also have the wall phone counterpart to it in our kitchen and that looks and feels great too.

The only potential downside to the phone is that everything is hard wired into it (i.e., you cannot change out the handset cord or the wall cord if it becomes damaged or you want something shorter -- it's that authentic!) Hence, if you are going to do a lot of stretching of the cord, sitting far away from the phone, etc. it could potentially pose a problem down the road if the wiring becomes loose due to wear and tear. That being said, any electrician's repair shop could probably fix it and whose to say that will even happen. Crosley has been making phones for years and their products are solid and well made. In my opinion, the benefits certainly outweigh any concern associated with this aspect of the phone. I would highly recommend it and the wall unit to anyone interested in this classic look.

Retro Charm, Sturdy, Fully Functional.......2007-01-05

if you're looking for an old fashioned phone without the dialing action, this one fills the bill. great sound quality, nice weight, good button response, and so far, no glitches. it even has flash & redial buttons cleverly disguised in the center of the keypad. no caller id lcd or phone number memory, but that would really spoil the retro charm. we use an antiquated ameritech caller id machine with it, and the two get along fine.

Love it!.......2007-07-05

The sound on this phone is great! It's sturdy and I love the ring. Very nostalgic. It also looks great!

The earpiece fell off.......2007-05-07

right after I unpacked it & never quite went back on again & it makes this staticky noice that we have traced back to the earpiece. They offered to refund everything but I never got up the energy to send it back. Plus it looks so cool...I don't really want another phone. It totally goes with the decor of my apartment. Looks like an original installation.
Oh yeah...and people tell me they can hear me breathing into the receiver LOUDLY. But I still dig the phone.

Great Look.........2007-03-12

Love my phone. It sits in my scrapbook room and looks fantastic. Receiver is very heavy, though, and if I get caught up in an extended conversation, it gets uncomfortable. Other than that, it's great! Love the old ring....

Phone.......2007-01-19

I love my phone. It is the perfect finishing touch to a retro remodeled kitchen. The authentic ringer is a great touch too.

Gorgeous phone.......2007-06-27

This is a gorgeous phone and I love it...for its looks. BUT it is extremely heavy (afraid of dropping and breaking the granite counter beneath it) AND impossible to use without hands. The shape of the phone is pointed in such a way that it cannot be cradled into your neck. I love it as a land line and I love the way it looks on the wall...but it is for occasional use only.

Style over function.......2007-05-16

Great looking phone, but sound quality not so great. Also, very difficult to cradle in shoulder, to use hands free, due to design/weight.

Crosley 302 Wall Phone CR55 Brushed Chrome.......2007-03-09

I was very pleased with the quality and look of the Crosley Wall Phone. I would highly recommend the phone.

Crosley 302.......2007-02-24

I recently purchase a Crosley 302 Wall phone in brushed chrome for our kitchen. This is a great phone. I couldn't believe the weight of it and it has a distinct "old-time" ring.

Sleek, stylish phone.......2007-02-04

I bought this for style (because it is in a very visible spot) and function, since it is good to have one corded phone in the house. I love the look and heft of the phone. The cord is long and I find the ring amply loud. It even has that classic, metallic ring that I remember from old phones. The buttons are arranged in a circle, to resemble an old rotary dial, but I don't consider this a problem. The only thing that would improve it is to have a handset cord in grey or silver, which would go better with a chrome phone.

Average customer rating: Good but could be better Love the look and works great!!!!

Good but could be better.......2007-05-09

The phone is well built and easy to install on the wall. However the handset is very heavy, something that the product description doesn't mention. As a result, it's uncomfortable to use if you're on the phone for any period of time.

Love the look and works great!!!!.......2007-01-09

Very happy with this phone. I wanted a red wall phone and loved the look of this. The receiver is a little heavy but, the good thing to that is it will keep you from talking too long. That makes my husband very happy!!!!
