## Overview

The Crosley CR55-RE Wall Phone combines iconic mid-century design with modern push-button technology. Wall-mounted and crafted in a rich cranberry red, it features adjustable ringer volume, flash and redial functions, and requires only an active landline to operate. Perfect for stylish kitchens or home offices, it offers reliable, no-frills communication with a bold retro flair.

## Description

Take a call from the past with this vintage-inspired wall phone. Based on Henry Dreyfuss's iconic design, this wall-mounted phone is easily mistaken for a mid-century relic. But a closer look will reveal a modern push-button dial hidden behind the nostalgic rotary-style face. Adjustable earpiece volume and flash/redial make for the perfect blend of contemporary convenience and classic charm. When this phone rings, you won't be able to resist picking up.

Review: Pretty and functional cover-up for that wall plate in the kitchen - Like many who live in older homes, I have an old AT&T wall plate in the kitchen that's not near an electrical outlet. The only way to cover it is with a corded phone. I got tired of the old, beige early 90's thing I had hanging there and searched for something cool that fit my decor, without being overly cutesy. The red phone is actually a nice dark cranberry color (my father tells me the color was all the rage circa 1959) and it provides a pretty punch of color to the wall. Unlike some reviewers, the sound on mine is perfectly clear, the bell tone (set it to low) sounds just like the rings of old, and while not quite as heavy as the phones I remember from childhood, it's a pretty solid piece. It's truly retro in that there are no frills (aside from redial and flash) such as backlighting or caller ID, but my modern living room phone's ring tones tell me who is calling. As far as function goes, this phone is for answering when I'm in the kitchen and calling the electric company when the power goes out. But it's very pretty, well priced, and sure to be a conversation piece. *Beware: Ignore the accessories desertcart associates with this. You cannot replace the cord with a longer one. It's molded to the phone.
Review: GREAT "OLD SCHOOL" PHONE - This phone is hanging in my kitchen and the deep red color coordinates with all my other candy-apple red accents and appliances. The color is exactly as pictured on line. It is SO cute and handy, up off the counter surface and centrally located so I can talk and still stir the pot or whatever. The cord is plenty long enough to reach in all directions but not too long that it gets in the way. Keep in mind that you will still need one hand to hold the phone so it's not totally hands-free but still very handy. Sound quality is great and we have been using it for a couple of years now with no problems. It's a great conversation piece and I'm really glad I bought it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty and functional cover-up for that wall plate in the kitchen

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful phone - but voices echo
*by F***Y on August 15, 2010*

The phone is beautiful (bought the red one). Shipped quickly, solid packaging. Looks great on my wall, and the handset is weighted nicely. But there is a echo when you're talking. Not sure if the party on the other end can hear it, but we sure can! Considering that we only use it when we can't find our walk phones, it's okay. The main reason that I purchased this phone was so that we would have a land line if the power ever goes down - and wanted it to be pleasing to the eye as well. So for our purposes, the phone is great!
