1929 fridge MAYBE but definitely NOT 1939

GE stopped making the Monitor Top fridge in 1937/38 and the last ones were a lot more streamlined and art deco than that...PAT COFFEY

I realize that Marion as I looked at the ad myself as well...I am sorry if I made you think otherwise. The only real danger in using that fridge would be if there was a coolant leak as these machines did not use freon (as that was not invented until 1931 by Frigidaire) but sulphur dioxide and metal formate which is very toxic if leaked into the air. To be honest these machines are so robust that a lot of them are still running with the original coolant put in them at the factory so it very well might never present the problem.......Patrick Coffey
