Product Description
Crosley CR56-BK 1950's Pay Phone -Black. The very familiar three-slot style pay phone 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.

 Classic Look Without Classic Price October 14, 2008
gomboman (Aurora, IL USA)
I've had one of these in a phone booth in my bar/rec room in my house for about two years. It looks great and the audio quality is great. The call information card is easily replaceable.
The phone is mostly plastic, but considering that used, real metal payphones typically sell for >$250 in working condition, this is a bargain.

This replica antique telephone completed this newly renewed kitchen. I believe it is what tied everything together. I like the phone altogether, also the coin slots to drop money in to. It takes you back in time.
 Plastic junk for a big price tag July 22, 2007

This item arrived at my house yesterday and I was so excited to pull it out of the box, and then my mood changed drastically. I was very disappointed by the plastic everywhere. The hand held ear piece was the sturdiest portion of the phone. The cradle the handpiece rests on was plastic with a crome colored paint coating. I've seen McDonalds Happy Meal toys that were better put together than this thing. The phone has lots of eye appeal but it won't last in any sort of daily use. I hung the phone on the wall without any difficulty and my daughter and I placed 13 coins in the top of the phone. The wonderful sound effect that happened with the drop of each coin ended after the 13th coin. I really expect something that I pay over $70 for to last for more than 5 minutes, call me crazy!!!! Sound quality of the one and only phone call we made was good but I'm sure that soon the cradle would be snapped off in the floor if anyone didn't use extreme care when hanging up the phone. Needless to say the phone is going back!

Crosley CR56 1950's Pay Phone - Brushed Chrome
Looks great hanging on the wall. It also works well. Earpiece is clear. No feedback from mouthpiece to earpiece (I've had that happen with some phones before). It's fairly lightweight. I wasn't expecting that. It looked heavier online. The body of the phone is plastic, but seems to be of good quality. I recommend this one.

From the look of this phone, I was hoping that the phone would be more of a metalic quality. While some parts of the phone are metal, there is actually a lot of plastic. I took it out of the box and it just had that cheap feeling to it. I do not really return things often, but this went back right away. Nothing against the seller -- I received prompt delivery and processing of my return -- this is just not a high quality product. I must admit that I did not even plug it in, so I can not vouch for call clarity, etc. Overall, I was very disappointed in the quality of this product and would not recommend it if you are looking for something of substance.
