1950s Montgomery Ward fridge

[jamiel]

Thinking about the northern manufacturers, perhaps Coolerator out of Duluth or Gibson out of Greenville...not sure how well established Admiral was immediately post-war (I thought that they took over a plant in North Chicago for refrigeration/ranges). Montgomery Ward was primarily a pretty static Northern/Western store at that point so these would have been logical locations to source from.

 

[supersuds]

Admiral bought Stewart-Warner's refrigerator business in 1944. They, and Montgomery Ward, were all Chicago-based -- which proves nothing, but is perhaps suggestive.

Would additional photos be helpful? I really do appreciate everybody assistance with this. I might buy a handle that is roughly similar and modify to fit if there is no luck with this Fridge's identification.
