Jeanine, This could be either a 1958 or 1959 model; Serial number would tell for sure. From the front, this is the model that we had in Air Force housing, built in 1959. However, GE produced the same cabinet and door for at least 2 years (maybe even 3 - into 1960). In 1958 this look applied to 3 models - LK-11R, LB-10R and LB-81R. Judging by the interior shot you provide, this is the 10 cu. ft. model with the dual vegetable bins (8 cu. ft. model had a single drawer). The larger model (11 cu. ft.) did include revolving refrigerator shelves and a separate freezer compartment behind the main door.
It's probably safe to assume that the same models were offered in 1959, with a "S" suffix.

At first I thought it was a '55 or '56, but then remembered that for some reason, GE didn't restyle this size refrigerator in '57 like they did the larger models. Maybe that took place in '60 or '61. | ||

Thank you all for the replies. When googling "vintage GE refrigerators", models that looked like this one were listed as being 1959s. However, I've seen wrong dates applied to things, so wanted to make sure. The white one on the right was also for sale, but it did not have the lazy Susan shelves, either. I ended up passing on both.
