It's missing the door for the freezer and the tray underneath it. No wonder it performs well on LO setting. At normal setting it would freeze any fresh food. Had to tell a lady to fashion a freezer door out of cardboard or Styrafoam for her apartment fridge with a missing freezer door. She could keep fresh food and have no frozen anything or have everything frozen.

Good thing they don't use it all the time.  That fridge likely has open coils on the back and no venting.

 

We have a similar vintage fake wood grain GE in our home office/TV room.  I'm holding out for one with a light inside (I've seen Sears mini-fridges with a light, but the dimensions were odd) and maybe a crisper drawer (have seen those too) then I'll replace the GE with it.

My father was given this fridge to him from his brother several years ago.  He uses it to keep beer cold out in the garage.  I believe it is Italian made?

I saw an old Magic Chef mini fridge on CL a few years ago that was Italian made.  It could be that the same manufacturer produced them for various re-badging ventures.

Always thought the styling was well done. Didn't look cheap like today's compact fridges...

I'd still rather have this than my Danby Ignis! (and mine just has a cold plate at the top (but it does have a mini-door and a defrost tray).

Does it say "Imperial" on the emblem?

I recently brought home a Revco 24" refrigerator from an office cleanout. The ice was so thick, it was like one solid block in the freezer. I let it thaw out for a few days, propped up on a 4x4 so the water would run out onto the ground. I wiped it out and tested it - cycled on and off perfectly as intended and held a steady 37-38F. I gave it to my parents who had only a GE refrigerator in the kitchen and an upright freezer in the garage. They love the extra space for soda and overflow when the family is around, just the right size.

If that frig is actually installed as pictured, that is one official looking/custom fit frig.
How did 1900, Victorian era, fluted trim and rosette blocks come to fit so perfectly around this frig from the 1960s?

One word:  Salvaged.

 

In the one picture you can see modern molding around the doorway.
