....It's from the later '50s; those marquise-oval handles are the major clue. The interior is also later than early-'50s; the door shelves, the blue liner and the convenience features are the giveaway.
It looks to me like a '57 or '58 model, not TOL, where they were updating the look of the line as much as possible to try to compete against Frigidaire's Sheer Look and GE's Straight-Line Design. |

That is the refrigerator I grew up with. You have to push in the black part of the handle to open the door. I remember my mom defrosting it by putting the electric skillet in the freezer. jeb |
