A "Different" GE Monitor Top

[twintubdexter]

Take a look at this old General Electric refrigerator, different and very special to say the least. Rumored to have come out of FDR's Winter home, it certainly doesn't look like it was decorated with stuff from the local craft store. The gold-plated trim is a nice touch, but the asking price of $9,999 is not. This store, Gameroom Gallery caters to the Indian Wells and Bighorn clientele...10+ million dollar homes with gamerooms and "man caves" larger than my entire house. Still, it's fun to look.

TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A RUMOR?

Any sort of proof this fridge was owned by Franklin Roosevelt-any sort of written proof?like delivory manifest,etc?Otherwise-NOT worth 10 grand!

In order to justify the huge asking price, I have 3 words of advice: PROVENANCE, PROVENANCE, PROVENANCE!!!

This model was not nearly as reliable or as long-lived as the monitor top because, I have been told, the globe was not adequately ventilated whereas the monitor top was.

posted as a novelty, not a wise buy...

I kind of doubt they really expect to sell this for anything close to the asking price, even if it belonged to George and Martha Washington. I'm sure they'll take a major markdown as soon as it starts to leak it's refrigerant.

I dunno, George and Martha's? It might bring some serious coinage.....

LMFAO!!!! What a nice wish! I seriously doubt if they'll get even $999 for it. Maybe 499.
