I was expecting a lot more but ...this is it... (head bows). Dashing through the frost..never mind the 250 cost...anyways...wonder what was so special about Christmas 1940?

There is one in Dayton, OH with a better cabinet. Perhaps someone could piece the two together?

I don't know the significance of the Christmas 1940 edition other than an advertising gimmick GE came up with at the end of the year. It looks like the same fridge as a regular 1940/41 GE. I have an emblem I pulled off of one that was in a field on its back with a small tree growing up through it. Would be a neat fridge to find in good shape though. The emblem specifically dates it and they are pretty uncommon.

I've seen Frigidaire ads from the late Thirties encouraging people to buy a new fridge as a Christmas present and have a personalized engraving added to the badge. The suggested wording was something like "To Mother/ Christmas 1936." In other words, a sales gimmick they tried for several years.
It would have been a welcome present for someone still struggling with an icebox, for sure. | ||
