Phones used to be clunky. Clunky equaled funky. Something solid you could really feel, and hold in the crook of your neck while doing the dishes. Then technology got all new-fangled, everything shrunk and got serious… phones of today are supposed to look sleek, and anything bigger then a matchbox is “last year’s model”…

Well now you can buck the trend, and carry around a retro phone receiver that is sure to mark you as the Modern Man, or Woman, around town. And, it will freak the bejesus out of anyone who notices that the clunky headset is attached to your pocket!….

The Retro Phone Handset

” The Retro Phone Handset is a new production replica of the Western Electric 500-series model, which was the classic phone handset for several decades. It’s been slightly modified to work with the headset jack of most cell phones (or via a “hands free” adapter kit, sold elsewhere). Just plug-in and dial – or for added effect, put your cell phone in your pant’s pocket – then it looks like you’re talking on a phone connected to… well, who knows?”
