Honestly this was passed down to me recently and I have no CLUE what era its from or anything about it? All I can see it has a clock (that works!) and a phone...but thats all I know. I can't find any information on it either, anybody happen to know anything about it? Any help would be wonderful!
I need help identifying what year this clock/phone is from. It was passed down to me and I can't find any information on it. It says Crosley on the front and bottom. No year or anything else. Any help would be appreciated!
Push button phones weren't available to the public until 1963 so at least you know that it was made in '63 or later. If no other collector recognizes your product, perhaps you could try contacting the Crosley Company. Perhaps you knew this already but just in case you didn't, they are back in business and even have a timeline posted on their website. Their contact information is http://www.crosleyradio.com/ContactUs.aspx. Good luck.
According to the Crosley company's timeline, Crosley name brand product lines were not being produced between 1956 and 1970, so this phone had to have been made after 1970. The phone handset looks like late 70's early 80's vintage to me but I'm not certain of that. The phone/clock combination would have been very practical since long distance tolls were charged by minute and there were no flat-rate "unlimited long distance" phone plans until the late 90's.
