Interesting color. Looks like a nice set and very clean. About 3 hours southwest of Minneapolis.

Looks like the fridge is a non-Frost Guard model, but even though it has the styling and spinning shelves of the '57, the cabinet liner is white so I'm guessing it's later than that, and that only Frost-Guard models got swing-out shelves.
I would have loved to have one of these not so long ago, but now that it's just me in the house I really can't justify the need for anything that large. The $15 '52 Kelvinator is serving my purposes well enough, although my FWB sometimes doesn't give the door enough of a push to make it latch. I've appropriated his "In the future . . ." advisory about making sure the door is completely closed, but there's already been one slip-up since. |

Thanks for the info, guys. The continuous edge mounted pull was exclusive to 1957, I thought, but maybe only for top-mount models. It could have been carried over into later model years for bottom-mount models, and that would make aesthetic sense to me. Additionally, the white liner seems to indicate a distancing from the pastel interiors GE was using for a good portion of the '50s. I do think it serves to make the fridge look younger than it actually is, and maybe more acceptable to wives of men who like vintage appliances. |
