Yes Phil mine came with all the drawers trays etc…I just noticed the white one in the above pictures is missing its rollout veggie drawers and the tops that go on them…I have mine out of my fridge right now as I am not using them currently but I do have them stored in the water heater closet. The picture below is of the interior of my fridge when I first got it……..PAT COFFEY

These small, but cool refrigerators (style, feature, color) remind me of one we had, but darn if I can remember what it was. The reason I know we had one - this is funny - I remember pushing that red button to turn the lazy-susan engineered shelves...and can still feel how those shelves felt, the metal and cold.
Pat, thanks for sharing, enjoyed it. So, would GE have the only shelves like this during 50's? Was it a patented feature unique to GE? Also, did they make anything bigger in this style than 18 cu ft? I don't remember bigger refrigerators till later, in the 60's. Thanks anyone, if you know. |

Actually Phil you only had to push the red button and turn the shelves if you wanted to adjust the height of the shelves…..they turn with out pushing the buttons to get the food off of them in regular use. I love these shelves myself. They were offered on GE fridges from 1954 through 1958. In 1959 the swing out shelves appeared that swing out from the right front corner of the cabinet. That style of shelf lasted until at least 1964. I am glad I was able to shed smoke light on your questions about this fridge Phil. I always get a kick out of reading your posts and it is nice to know I have done the same for you with this one…PAT COFFEY
