"Wild vintage French door fridge from 1946. Super clean inside. Measures about 68x38x30”. Gets cold fast and runs steadily but loudly. Located on main level of the house. Clean this up and you have one unique fridge"

Can't say I've ever seen one of those. Kind of a tough sell without shelves.

Looking at how its constructed, is that still a wooden frame in a modern looking cabinet? Its an interesting design, right on the point where the 1930's and 40's designs were moving towards the 1950's.

It looks like this fridge is also on e-bay. There's more in the description than in the Facebook ad, and he says there are shelves for it: "What a rare find! How many WW2-era/MCM French-door refrigerators have you ever seen?! This refrigerator had been used as a basement spare for many years. It measures about 67.25” x 30” x 38”. Gets frosty and runs well though it’s loud. Rusting near the bottom. Chrome is in good shape and metal is all solid. If you’re into the real deal—the predecessor to today’s modern fridge—this is the one-of-a-kind for you! If you’re going to invest in a total overhaul, this baby will combine real vintage with today’s size standard. Comes with shelves. Pickup on first level. Matt 2014036358"

1946 .....

was the year Crosley "invented" the refrigerator door shelves (hence, The Shelvador name) and had the patent for 7 years before other manufacturers could use the idea. Well, actually Crosley bought the door shelf patent from a guy who Crosley originally offered a 1% deal of all refrigerator profits going forward. His wife talked him out of it and he took the cash offer of $50k. Hindsight shows he would have made over a million dollars in just 9 years!

Crosley was selling Shelvadors in the early Thirties.
