Ice cube trays
They were made of aluminum.
Here's another Canadian fridge I got, it's a shorter 12 cubic feet model from 1965 (FPIC-12TJ). This one has a Meter-Miser 1/6 hp compressor and a thermostatic bulb for the refrigerator airflow control.
Paul's Turquoise fridge and my white 1966 fridge are both standard size 14 cu.ft. models with the same dimensions as most US-made Frigidaire top-freezer models of this time (32" wide, 64" tall). This one is a smaller 12 cu-ft model which is still 32" wide but shorter by 5" at 59".
The ice trays were gold for 1965.
The 1965 ice ejector for the ice trays with gold anodized trim and gold printing on the side.
This Canadian model differs from the equivalent US model (FPI-12TJ) as it kept the door style still used on the larger 1965 models and inside, it has two small hydrators instead of a large one and the interior door design is also different (the US model had a butter conditioner at the center of the door and the setting knob is located above the "Butter" door instead of being behind it.
Here's an ad for the US model FPI-12TJ which was the same dimensions as the one above, note the different doors (which Frigidaire introduced on this model in 1965 but used this design on many larger models the following year and for quite a long time after, even in the mid-1970s, there were still economy models made with these doors)
