    1951 Fridgidaire Refrigerator

    Thanks for the tips!! We bought it for $300 and hope it lasts another 60 years :-) I purchased a thermometer and it seems to be keeping everything at a good temp. Super quiet too. We have a 1940s Fridgidaire electric range too that my husband bought in an auction for $20, cleaned up really nice...
