First introduced in 1949, this ever-popular desk style set was initially featured in basic “Bell Black.” Reintroduced in 1954, in a variety of shades, this classic gained widespread popularity as it became a decorative household item. Rugged and functional, the Desk Phone was, and remains, the most commonly used phone in the United States. And while Crosley’s Desk Phone has the nostalgic rotary dial, it actually functions with push button technology. No more waiting for that rotary dial to make its excruciatingly slow rotation. This faithful re-issue is revered as one of the most celebrated phones in American history.
