Excellent, this was about the best refrigerator you could buy in the mid 60s and it had a ice-maker that worked.

For a quality fridge in such great condition, $225 is a fair price.  For its relatively small size (16 cf) it has the "Space Master" shelving system, which adds flexibility to the interior configuration, and an ice maker option.

 

I had an older model like this for a while before giving to my sister.  It had a revolving crisper like those found on GE Combinations.

 

If this fridge were near me, I'd be very tempted to go after it as a frost-free placeholder until a GE with articulated shelves showed up.  It has hinges where I need them to be.

Whirlpool..

Made coldspots from 1957-58 on, before that Seeger Refrigerator Co, which Whirlpool bought out to get the refrigerator line...a move encouraged by Sears, also they bought out Birtman electric at the same time to get the vacuums and mixers...also a Sears idea, then they had all those products plus the laundry under one management..The old Seeger built units used a Rotary compressor !

I think this fridge might be too old to offer reversible doors.  If it has an extra set of threaded holes on the left, then the answer to your question is yes.  You'd have to do a visual check to see if there are plastic plugs covering another set of holes to get a definitive answer.

Cannot be reversed on this refrigerator without making major modifications that were not intended when this ref was built, even the door gaskets on the doors were only made to be installed one way as the hinge side did not have magnets in the vinyl gaskets.
