Crosley Dreyfuss CR57 Wall Telephone

Date Published: 3/31/08

The Crosley Dreyfuss CR57 Telephone is designed to look like models from 1956. It has a handsome black finish and a rotary dial. However, the dial is only ornamental, because the holes are replaced with push buttons for touch-tone dialing. Aside from the numeric buttons, the phone also features redial, flash, and buttons for both # and *.

The phone itself is sturdy and well made, providing clear conversations and an earpiece that has volume control. And if you're looking for some reprieve from incoming calls, you can turn off the ringer. Brackets are included for easy installation in kitchens, garages, or on any wall you like. Overall, this is a solid phone for people looking for some nostalgia or just something different.



Pros: classic design, sturdy
Cons: none

 



Warranty
90-day limited
