1956 (ish?) Philco fridge

Missing a couple of shelving pieces, but appears to have most that are often missing!

Cant tell for sure what color the interior is. Lower door looks pink but lower cabinet looks yellow. If pink its a 56. If yellow would be 55 or 54.

Joe is correct. I have a 54 and have moved it enough times to attest it being heavy.

the heaviest?

The heaviest that I have moved were mid-50s Frigidaire TOL with full porcelain cabinets... after moving those, new stuff could almost be forgiven for how cheap (and lightweight) the materials and trim are!

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">The very heaviest fridge I ever tried to move was the original Foodarama. Those big Amana/Maytags ran a close second.</span>

I forgot about that one... I moved one of those, too, and although it was not a porcelain cabinet, it was a huge and heavy machine that of course had to come up a steep flight of enclosed basement stairs... It was a good thing that there were a couple of guys to help on that move!
