Vintage Home Telephones

Most of us have become dependent on our cells – BlackBerries, PalmPilots and iPhones have taken over what was once Ma Bell’s niche.  We rely heavily on our PDAs and cells.  That hasn’t lessened the need for our traditional land lines, however.  There will always be a need for the classic home phone.  A vintage phone is a great way to make the old new again.  Modern Furniture Warehouse has several throwbacks that will have you longing for those days when blackberries were nothing but a summer fruit used in cobblers and pies.

Remember the classic Candlestick phones?  These days, we don’t see them unless we’re watch reruns of those television shows from a different era.  Until now, of course.  Take a look at upright, complete with a bell shaped mouthpiece to the fabric covered receiver cord.  It’s a wonderful trip down memory lane, but never compromising the latest in technology.  It has an earpiece volume control and a ringer off/on switch for more convenience.  It’s available in gold, black or silver.

Ah, the classic payphones.  What can we say – they’re a part of what makes reliving history so much fun.  This classic 1950s payphone might have your kids wondering what it is, but you’ll know each time you pick up the receiver with its curled cord, change cup and decorative coin slots.  It too offers an earpiece volume control, ringer off/on switch and a coin bank.  It’s wall mounted with a rotary dial face that hides the push button technology.  It’s available in pink, red, black or chrome plated.  It’s a fun addition to even the most contemporary home.

Remember the princess phones that became popular in the 1970s? If you’re like many of us, we’re brought back to the days of the Brady Bunch and other iconic television shows.  Relive those groovy days with the princess phone replica, complete with pastel colors.  The dial phone hides push button technology and it also offers a tone or pulse switch, along with a redial feature.

Be sure to browse all of the classic telephones.  You just might opt to leave the PDA on charge and opt for the classic standby that never goes out of style.
