Product Description
Telephone - series 302 black. The iconic type 302 phone was designed by the prolific industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss and introduced in 1937. He used ear to mouth measurements from 2000 people to create the egonomic handset. The first to incorporate the bell in the base of the unit, the phone was originally cast in metal. This piece was later produced using a heavy-duty plastic housing. Its appearance, combined with a rugged construction, earned it the nickname "The Cow's Hoof" because of its lipped hoof-style base. This early desk version served as the standard for the better part of World War II while telephone design efforts were halted due to defense work. Features: Push button dialing, Redial button, Ringer volume on/off switch, earpiece volume control, simply plugs into a standard UK phone socket

Perfect vintage style!,

This review is from: Wild & Wolf Series 302 Desk Phone - Black (Electronics)
This is a perfect phone for that period look. It really does replicate the original well (we have an original 40's Bakelite version which sadly has appalling sound quality unlike this modern version). The bell ring is identical to our original and the push button dialling cleverly disguised as rotary certainly saves fingernails! The handset is of a good weight and sends and receives sound very clearly. The little touches such as the button marked `operator' and the `wait for dial tone' lettering all add to a convincing look. All in all the best of both worlds with its traditional styling and its contemporary technology.

A proper telephone,

This review is from: Wild & Wolf Series 302 Desk Phone - Black (Electronics)
This is a nice, solid telephone. The receiver is quite heavy and an attractive shape which is pleasant to hold and it sits well on an old desk. It has a proper ring and the sound quality during a conversation is good. It is a good quality dull black plastic which is of a bakelite type.
Dialling is by push button; I think I would have liked a chrome rotating dial better. Glad I bought it.

By Bluebell (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wild & Wolf Series 302 Desk Phone - Black (Electronics)
After having several wireless phones in the house, and continuing reception problems, I officially gave up and went back to a landline phone. With that in mind, i wanted something a little retro and a little bit different to any of the modern versions on the market.
I love this phone, the ring tone (slightly Amityville horror), and the look and feel to the phone. The reception, being a landline, is a 100 times better. Literally the oddity is getting used to the push button numbers being in a circle again. I also bought a black 1950s retro phone which was equally as fab, but it takes longer to dial as the it has the circular dialling mechanism.
