The Candlestick phone, also known as the 'upright', initially became popular
during the early 1900's before the introduction of the one-piece handset. The
first Candlestick phones were introduced when the magneto system was in use,
which meant that the phone was connected to a large wooden box called a
"subset" containing a battery, bell, and crank. But oh have we come a
long way. From its bell-shaped mouthpiece to its cloth covered receiver cord,
this telephone replica recalls a vintage instrument from the 1900's. But a
closer look reveals some modern technology including a decorative dial that
functions as a push button for tone/pulse operation as well as a center
medallion that serves as a redial button. This modern day version of the
Candlestick phone would have surely made Alexander Graham Bell proud.
