Spirit of St. Louis Field Phone MK2

Summary: Looks cool, works bad
Review: I had the previous model of the st louis phone and it lasted awhile and was great, but it quit working and I got this model. Its absolutely worthless! I can hardly hear when im on the phone with someone. And, the retractable cord would be a great idea if it actually retracted properly and had enough cord to actually retract. There are also little lights in the top, I think they are supposed to work.. they don't. and they clock seems to work randomly. This is the most unreliable and useless phone I have ever owned. It looks really cool though. They should have spent more time on its funcionality instead of packaging.

Summary: A Great "Guy" Toy!!
Review: It's big, it's bulky, it's heavy; it's completely impractical-and it's terrific! This is a fully functional telephone, modeled after the field telephone carried by Lindbergh on his famous solo Atlanic flight. The top case has a working compass, and a series of lights which flash in sequence to display the route of Lindbergh's flight when the phone rings.
The receiver isn't a plastic toy-it has a satisfying heft; the cord retracts into the base; the buttons for redial and speed dial are big chunky push buttons. This is a "retro" phone in the best sense-smoothly functional and up-to-date technology without the feel of being a plastic knock-off.
If you're looking for a telephone to compliment a den, library, etc. this is a handsomely crafted & interesting item.
