If you are looking to redecorate your home and want that Vintage look, then you are in luck because Crosley has a 1950’s black payphone that will fit right in with your retro look! You can find them in several other colors as well to match your own homes décor. Just like in the olden days when you had to use a payphone for all your calls. Now you can have the same look of phone in your home. Buy several retro signs saying payphone on them and hang them around as well. Get a couple of candy dishes with some old fashioned candy to set around and you will have the vintage look you desire. 
Have you ever watched an old movie where the prisoners are waiting to make their phone calls on the old black payphone hanging on the way? Well, you can have the same phone in your home today, the difference now is if you have one in your home is you do not have to wait for the prison guard to give you permission to use the phone. Consider creating a room with movie posters of old gangster movies, Bonnie & Clyde, or even murder mysteries. Now, create cell bars and place on the wall. You have a rec room now that is unique and fun!
The Crosley phone now has the tone dial so you no longer have to use a rotary dial and wait for the dial to turn all the way back before you dial your next number. It also has all the newest technology like redial, ringer on and off switch, the tone/pulse switch, the earpiece volume control, and a coin bank. You can charge friends and family for making calls and use the retro phone as a savings account to pay your bill!
You can have several in your home. Place one in your game room, your den, the hallway, or even the bathroom to create a retro look for the entire home. Many diners use these retro phones along with jukeboxes to create an awesome retro atmosphere and you can do the same in any room you desire. A great idea is to create this atmosphere in the game room along side your pool table.
This one of a kind payphone was first introduced in 1950, which did not see any changed until around 1965. It may look bulky and heavy; however, the replica’s today are not heavy and will not fall from the wall. Bring back the nostalgic feel of either the 50’s or 60’s with your own retro wall payphone.
