Product Description

If it looks familiar, it should. This is the telephone seen throughout I Love Lucy, earning it the nickname “the Lucy phone” and securing its place in American pop culture. Fully refurbished and arrives with bluetooth connectivity, this is a functional piece of history with a personality to match.

Designed by Henry Dreyfuss, the Model 302 was a breakthrough in both engineering and design. Built with what collectors often call an “indestructible” construction, the Model 302 was made to withstand constant daily use.

The design is unmistakable. A low, rectangular base paired with a sculptural handset creates a silhouette that feels both practical and refined. Its Art Deco lines remain crisp and relevant, a testament to Dreyfuss’s enduring influence on industrial design. 

Highly collectible and instantly recognizable, the Model 302 represents a moment when everyday objects were engineered with intention, built to last, and designed to be used for generations.
