Victorian Trading Company vintage coffee mill telephoneIf you’re weary of cellphones and keyboards, the Victorian Trading Co. is chock-full of old-fashioned gadget replica goodies: fireplace popcorn poppers, writing materials, and telephones! This crank phone was originally manufactured in 1893, and excellent for those of you who always wanted a “princess” phone with a more mature look. And push buttons, instead of that dial.
