Very nice looking frig. I think the seller may have cracked their head open a time or two with the ice bin instead of an ice cube tray. | ||

The seller has it on eBay too. It started it out at $7200...
I'm actually looking for this fridge (but not at that price). Ideally, I'd prefer it to be sunny yellow, but I would go with white as well. CLICK HERE TO GO TO bluejay's LINK on eBay | ||

Ralph:
Actually, some feel that the words "There's a sucker born every minute" were put in P.T. Barnum's mouth by others who were trying to discredit the showman. Barnum's over-ballyhooed exhibits, some of which were outright fakes, were highly controversial in their time, with rival showmen greatly offended by Barnum's ability to make money hand over fist sometimes using basically nothing but false publicity. To make the public think that Barnum was contemptuous of the average man's intelligence would have been an attempt to get that average man angry enough with Barnum to stop going to his "museums" and circuses.
It did not work; Barnum thanked his detractors for the free publicity. His acts, exhibits and circuses kept right on going, most profitably. | ||

 Although not a Frigidaire, this GE refrigerator is very reasonably priced @ $25. It looks fairly complete inside, and clean too. CLICK HERE TO GO TO polkanut's LINK on Wausau Craigslist | ||

I used to have a similar GE fridge that I sent to a recycling program for $60 as I had been offering it to people around delivered for free and nobody wanted it... I kept it unused for a year hoping to find someone who would adopt it but that didn't happen. It was a good beer fridge and easy to defrost. I didn't store perishable food in it so I just had to set it to defrost overnight once in a while and the melted ice from the freezer would get in the "meats" drawer. Mine was a bit older and still used SO2 as a refrigerant and because it was a Canadian model, it had door shelves too!
Expecting a fridge like this to become your main fridge at home might lead to disappointments but these are great for camps and to store drinks in a garage! BTW, I currently have a small Kelvintor fridge from the mid-1990s and I'm also stuck with it. I wouldn't be a good appliance salesman as I can't find takers for free delivered appliances even when I ask to people who need one! I offered to a co-worker of mine to help her getting rid of her non-working fridge in her basement and to give her this one and she refused! Then, I offered it to a friend to use as a second fridge as he talked about getting one some time ago but he didn't want it either... Then to another friend to put in the apartment over his whareouse as there's a nice kitchen there and there's an empty spot for the fridge in the cabinets (he currently has a tiny office fridge there). He also refused as he's looking to buy a stainless fridge to match his stove! Maybe I should offer it as a partial trade for a 40" stove I want to buy next week! | ||

Memories....
Tim -
That little GE is one we had (in White) very briefly when I was a kid. A few weeks before I turned six years old, we moved into our first house; we'd been apartment-dwellers before that. The house represented quite a bit of scrimping and saving on my parents' part, and after the closing, they didn't have enough money for a new refrigerator, something the house didn't come with. My mom's best friend came to the rescue with a secondhand unit belonging to her friends across the street from her. Sadly, we'd been in the house less than six months when a faulty furnace flue set it afire. While damage was confined to two rooms, one of those rooms was the kitchen, meaning R.I.P. little GE. When the place was repaired, the kitchen got a nearly total remodel; we kept the '48 Loewy Frigidaire range, which was fine after cleaning. That's when Mom got the 1958 GE bottom-mount Combination which was the envy of all who saw it, and which served for thirty years. All this was over half a century ago, and I recognized that little GE as soon as I saw it. | ||
