Appears to be a 1951 I'm not sure what the plate is that you've photographed, but I don't think it's the nameplate for the refrigerator - maybe for the compressor? The refrigerator should have a two-letter followed by a number/letter combination model identification (LF-10H, LF-8H, etc.). The Serial Number should begin with two letters, they can be de-coded with the GE link here.

Advertisement This 1951 advertisement features the LF-10 model. It appears to have room for a third shelf whereas yours looks to have room for two. If that's the case, yours would be a LF-8.

I agree about the GE door latch. It didn't take much effort to make it catch or pop open. Very well designed.
The '49 Westinghouse I grew up with took a good push or it would bounce back, and also required a combined wrenching and pulling action to get it open. The handle eventually pulled out of its housing.
I don't think I've ever seen a GE with this system that had a broken door handle, and if you think about the number of years they spent as daily drivers, particularly for large families, by this time many of them have been opened and closed nearly half a million times. | ||

It appears to be a 1951 model
I am not so sure about that Lawerence mainly because in the 1951 ad the word chiller on the chiller tray says is written in cursive letters while on the one in the photo of the fridge in question it is written on a medallion in block letters. If the owner of the fridge can get me a complete model number. which should be on the side wall in the fresh food compartment, I can tell you exactly what year it is.....PATRICK COFFEY
