Average customer review:Product Description
The very familiar 3-slot style payphone was first introduced in the 1950's and remained virtually unchanged until 1965. This appropriately christened prepay-style pay station will take you back to the days of old fashioned phone booths and 10-cent phone calls. Believe it or not, its predecessor was a post pay-style phone that actually allowed the caller to place their call and then pay once finished. While you don't have to pay for your calls with this Crosley replica, you will enjoy the functional coin slots complete with Crosley jingle as your money is deposited into the coin bank in the base of the unit.

Customer Reviews
Nice, but kinda cheap...
Nice reproduction, but made out of cheap looking plastic. Ring tone is modern style, instead of old fashioned ring.
Good conversation piece and great way to save spare change
Telephone works well and looks and feels like a real pay phone. It does double as a bank and the family puts extra change in it to save up for DVD rentals and pizza nights. The red phone looks great against the yellow wall in our kitchen. The Amazon price including shipping is still less than anywhere else including Ebay ($68). The only drawbacks are the chrome accents are over plastic and there is a modern ringer on the telephone.
A plastic-take on an old classic
I love the look of this phone but was surprised that is is almost entirely plastic and does not have that 'heavy' authentic feel to it. Despite, this phone is charming and doubles as a bank. When you drop a coin in the slot you can hear an old fashioned CLING. My toddler quickly wore the cling out but it still gets many compliments. Easy to hang on a wall and fun to talk on. Satisfactoy quality overall.
