Great novelty item, but has some flaws
By Ravenwood
This is a great novelty phone that works well and looks fantastic. But there are some flaws and design characteristics that detract from the phone.First, the handle is plastic and feels very cheap. Wood or even a solid heavyweight plastic would have given it some heft and made it feel more authentic.Also, the ringer is a modern, electronic sounding tone. Oh, you can crank the handle and hear the real ring, but when someone calls it sounds like one of those cheap 1980s electronic rings. The only adjustments are for ring volume, so we are kinda stuck with it. Even my cell phone has an old timey ring, so I don't understand why they couldn't put one on this phone.If you have vision problems, this isn't the phone for you. The numbers on the buttons are a dark brown font on a black background and very difficult to read. Sure its just 0 through 9, but you have to strain to see the numbers from any distance. And forget it in low light.Overall the phone looks great, but as soon as you handle it, the old timey charm dissipates. The frame is die-cast, but there is a lot of cheap feeling plastic used as well. the entire neck and platform above the dial are plastic, as well as the handle itself. I would have like to see more durable materials used.The coiled handset cord is a nice cloth that has a modular jack at one end, but not the other. So if the cord frays, you can use any modern handset with the base. However there is no way to disconnect the cord from the handset, so I guess that is just trash (or a jerry-rigged repair). Time will tell how long it lasts, but for the money I wonder if we should have picked up an authentic antique phone instead.

Penny Wise and Pound Foolish
By Sharon Davis
I fell in love with this phone online. And, was excited when it finally arrived. At first glance I was enchanted. But with further scrutiny was disappointed to find that the manufacturer had decided to skimp a few pennies on the production line, to take what would have been a superlative product and downgrade it to CRAP. While the phone is mostly constructed of quality materials - they decided to use a plastic housing above the dial which completely destroyed the whole effect. I really don't get the reasoning behind this. Further, the ring/belltone is not authentic.What a disappointment! I can't help but think that using metal for the housing couldn't have cost much more - but would have made this product look infinitely better, because the plastic used for the housing was not a high grade material. Hence the title, "penny wise and pound foolish".If you don't care that they used cheap shoddy materials on the exterior housing and that the belltone is not accurate - then you will quite possibly be happy with this phone. But if your looking for a quality product and not just a novelty - I would pass.

Like a dashing fancy brick
By Zachary
I was thrilled when I received this phone in the mail. While other reviewers have pointed out that some components are plastic (what bothers me most about that is that I can see or feel the mold line in some areas) I was still thrilled at the level of quality when you take into consideration the general quality of most reproduction items. This set is solid, heavy, gorgeous and its got a ring that will make your dear old deaf aunt Ethel jump (I would recommend against keeping it beside the bed if you plan on hooking it up). Obviously not as convenient as a cordless phone, but works just fine for short calls or in a comfortable corner or on a desk. It's great quality for the $$.
