Digital camera reviews of Crosley Black Candlestick Phone (CR64)
Digital camera Review: A functional work of art
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very well-made replica of a 1920's candlestick phone. You could buy refurbished antique version of this phone, but the prices I have seen online have started at $250.
This phone is not cheaply made by any means. It is fairly heavy, like I would expect an original one would be, and has old-fashioned cloth covered cords, which are generous in length. The mouthpiece tilts up and down for your favorite angle, and the ring sounds authentically bell-like. The audio is crisp and clear. The matte-black finish combined with the classic lines make this indeed a functional work of art. Recommended!
Digital camera Review: Adorable
Summary: 5 Stars
This phone takes me back many years! I adore it! My Grandmother had one like it except hers had a Rotary dial and this is a push button. It still looks the same. I even have it sitting on a small telephone table with a Doily under it. Reminds me of my Grandmother who I adored! I was very surprised that it even has the black cloth cord like the real candlestick phones had.Digital camera Review: Crosley Black Candlestick Phone (CR64)

Second chance for modern Crosley with me. Seems like a good heavy and solid Telephone, I am happy now, but give it a year and see how I feel. Crosley reproduction radios are junk (mine was and cheaper to buy a new radio, then fix), I hope the phones are better!Digital camera Review: Excellent very solid phone--we love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
Unlike the reviewer whose phone was made of "light plastic," ours certainly is not. In fact, it weighs a hefty 55 ounces, 3 and a half pounds. It rivals the phone of my childhood in being as heavy and as solidly constructed as the original was. It also has a volume control under the base which the original did not. In short, it's not only a trip down memory lane, but a solid instrument as well--rare in these days of cheap phones. It goes beautifully with my rolltop desk and lifts my spirits as well. Modern convenience with a traditional flavor leads us to say, we love it! We think you will, too!Digital camera Review: Get me the newsroom!

This replica that sits on my bar becomes the center of attention. Most remember the old movies with reporters running out of the court room and grabbing this model of phone. It is a well built replica with the weight and feel of the original phone (I am an old guy and I remember!). The dial looks like the old rotary but is easy to access push buttons. You can hear very well because the receiver fits of over the ear. I also bought the replica Crosley pay phone.
