That's an earlier and fancier version of the one I have (1947). It looks so white and glossy compared to mine, which has a painted finish. Too bad this has a chip in the lower section. |

that compartment at the bottom was not refrigerated. People used to keep potatoes, onions and such in these compartments. People in my family used to keep paper shopping bags in these compartments too. While these old fridges didn’t have much freezer space, really next to non, they sure did keep frsh food nicely. Things didn’t dry out, and it wasn’t so important to keep everything wrapped and covered tightly like it is with a modern frost free model.

As Eddie mentioned, the lower section isn't refrigerated. It is a shallow tilt out bin, and the compressor is behind this area. The model D-7 I have is very heavy - I can only imagine how heavy the porcelain cabinet models are. |

Keith the air in the non refrigerated bin is warm and DRY not moist. The fridge manufacturers said that storage bin was a good place to keep onion, potatoes, cereals, crackers etc. because it wold keep them dry and crisp. One of my aunts had a fridge like the one in this post as her spare fridge until the late 1980's and she always used the storage bin for storing extra boxes of cereals and crackers and they always stayed nice and crisp and she never had a roach or mouse problem with that fridge either.
