Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Crosley Ivory Desk Phone (CR58-IV)
Customer Review: Surprisingly good phone
Summary: 5 Stars
Got this for Christmas for my phone collection. I collect Western Electric phones, mostly model 500s, and have quite a few of their various models ranging from the early 50's to the end of their production in the 80's. This Crosley replica really surprised and impressed me with how well made it is, how heavy the phone body and handset are, and the overall faithfulness of the design to the originals. Even the handset cord is a nice touch, a thick round hardwired cord instead of a thin flat modular one, and the handset itself is about the right weight and even imitates the lines of the original removable handset caps. It works well, has good sound quality, and all the modern features that people like such as last number redial and line flash capability, as well as being a touch tone dial with * and # keys.
A couple of quibbles, the holes on the microphone cap ought to all be drilled through instead of only one. The cord to the wall jack is just a cheap flat black modular one and would have looked a lot nicer if it also had been a fat round cord in matching colors. The screw holes on the handset ought to have matching colored plugs in them so as to hide them better.
I don't know how long this phone will hold up, will it last for decades like the Western Electric originals or be dead in a few years? But it certainly is a nice looking and seemingly well made modern phone that will give you the vintage phone look with modern conveniences.
