Oh...

now that is cool. I've never seen a rounded profile bottom freezer ge fridge before. I would love that one.

1956. Last year for rounded cabinet. First year for magnetic latch. Would this utilize an evaporator fan?

An interesting model

I don't think there are any fans associated with this one.  There's no grille up front, so I think the condenser is mounted on the back, and since it's a '56 (or is it a '55 since the interior is blue as opposed to turquoise/copper?) and not frost free, it wouldn't have an evaporator fan.

 

I guess it wasn't until the '57 models that the bottom freezers got a drawer and not a door.

Didn't think about it not having a ventilation grille. Unless it was a running change during 1955 I know that 1956 was the first year for the magnetic latch and the handle became just a hand hold to pull the door open. No more mechanical handle/latch with moving parts. 1955 models had light blue fresh food compartments and yellow freezers. I don't think the colors differed between top and bottom freezer models. For some reason you don't see many 56's. Id like to find a top freezer 56.

I've seen top freezer '56 Combinations show up in Shoppers Square in the past.  They're kind of unique with the copper finish on their rotating racks.  '56 seems to be the only year that GE did that.

 

I do like the fridge above, but due to tight quarters I require a '57 or later with the shoulder hinges that don't require the extra few inches of space for the door to open 90 degrees.  I'm not a fan of pink but I don't mind the pink interior of my '57.  It's old school and the lighting gives contents a flattering glow.

 

I hope that fridge meets up with a buyer.  It's complete and the exterior would clean up nicely with some car polish and elbow grease.

Im thinking of contacting the seller to see if still available. But its not worth $200 IMO. Id have to have shipped. Would UShip be my best bet? I already got an estimate there of low of $84.00 & high of $315.00

Yeah, I think maybe $150 is a decent price since the fridge is complete and will clean up well, but you'll have to chance it with the gasket on the freezer door.  If it's no longer sealing effectively, you may be defrosting the freezer every few months at least, even if you don't access it much.  Modern may still have the correct Gemline replacement gasket, but it won't be cheap.  That's where I got gaskets for my '57 and I've been amazed by how little frost forms in the freezer now.

 

What's up with the wide range in shipping rates that they quoted you?  You might want to enter "shipping" into the Searchalator and check old threads.  There's a truck driver whose name I can never remember but she's cheap and good, and has hauled machines for a number of members here.

 

This fridge seems fairly uncommon and sort of like a transitional model.  If it won't break the bank, I think it's worth pursuing.

Do you mean Jackie Dempere? I guess the range on the quotes is based on past deals for appliances and the distance? And also how quickly you need it moved.
