I was wondering if anyone knows how old this mini fridge is. It was rescued from a junk pile and still works! |

I would say its mid 1960s by the look of it.
Here in the UK Hoover (and possibly in Europe) had a very comprehensive range of fridges and freezers from the mid 1960s to the mid 1980s, all badged from Zanussi. Hoover were never afraid to put their name on something other companies manufactured. Here is the UK selection from around 1970 alongside their washers and dishwashers - dishwashers also Zanussi

Loving that commercial.
Look at the house they filmed that in. So retro. It looks like a victorian that's had a "newly" remodeled kitchen installed with built in side by side coffee color frig and GE single wall oven. I just love the retro details like the shelf unit full of plants, the white rotary dial desk phone right next to the sink, the "Z" brick on the kitchen wall, and the laundry basket Jane's holding. She'd make a wonder professor. Maybe even have a boyfriend from another planet. But I'm just talking silliness here. |
