That's nice. I like the stylized handle and badge.
That was a "food service" freezer...buy the "food plan" and get the freezer free. My brother actually did this recently...said some of the frozen foods were really great, others not so hot. Not really different than the Schwan's freezer truck idea (except they roll a freezer into the deal). Rich Plan was another of those types.

Very interesting about the frozen foods plans.
I think I remember Consumer Reports or Consumers' Research Bulletin doing a report on these plans with regards to the quality of the meat supplied. It was just reporting on meats; and how much waste there was from the various cuts long before the frozen convenience foods available on the last few decades.
Like many others in our area growing up we had a freezer plan. This was in 1970's but don't think it lasted very long, not sure why. Say this because distinctly recall Mama going to the supermarket each week or so and loading up on everything including meats and poultry.
IIRC there is an episode of "I Love Lucy" where Lucy signs up for some sort of freezer plan. Sadly she (IIRC) did not understand was getting a few sides of beef. That's quite lot of meat! When it all started to arrive Lucy Ricardo had to think quickly before Ricky got home.
Think freezer plan Mama used was from Bamberger's in New Jersey, but don't quote me on that. It's been a while.... *LOL*

Were never a good deal, you over paid for the Freezer and got a lot of food you did not want or like.
Far better to shop for a better quality freezer and buy the food you need and want on sale at the store.
[ there is no free lunch in life ] Our Father who worked in the food industry often warned consumers about these bad deals.

My brother used/uses one (within the last 5 years) and has been reasonably happy with it. They eat a lot of freezer meals/easymeals.
I think Macys/Bambergers was big into providing those freezer plans in their territories in the 60s.
Famous-Barr in St. Louis and Marshall Fields in Chicago was big into their "notions" department where they would advertise cases of paper goods/home chemicals to be delivered. Don't know if they had "club" autoship plans, but Borax-Sudz laundry detergent was often advertised in the Post-Dispatch in St. Louis by Famous.
