Can we start a Mid 50s to mid 60s refrigerator picture thread?

[bootsnslicks14]

As the title states, can we start a picture thread? Can't get enough of looking at the different and interesting refrigerators of that era..
If this thread is not appropriate mods can delete it..

I'll start with my Philco..

I think people may be sick of seeing my '57 GE Combination . . .

Here is a picture of my G.E. Americana.

Here is my 1963 Hotpoint. The shelves swing out.

Late 50's or early 60's Hotpoint. We had bought this to use in our house, but the compressor turned out to be bad.

I know this isn't in the time frame, but this is a 1949 Hotpoint. We still use it. It has since been painted pink.

Love that '63 Hotpoint!  Nice collection.

I won't post my pictures here but here's the link to mine and 3 that belong to friends (the 1965 GE that I got for my friend Gilles and the 1962 and 1965 Cycla-Matics that I gave to Paul). I try to keep the Frost-Proof models for myself! (one of mine is older than 1955, 3 are newer than 1965).

I never get tired of seeing anyone's appliances, so Ralph - you can always post another shot, another angle, a night view, anything..opened, closed, both. I wouldn't mind seeing it.

Then I've got a dead duck of a 1964 Frigidaire, which is just like PhilR's.

This thread's off to a great start!

@countryford: Interesting Hotpoint you got there. I thought only GEs of that era had the "Lazy Susan" style shelves.

We've got a few kicking around, but these are our two main ones... The '51 Coldspot makes a great drink fridge and the '65 GE non-frost free is our primary.

'57 GE Combination

OK, I snapped a few new pix.  This is a drinks/party/overflow fridge in the laundry room.

 

The freezer was last defrosted on 9/21 and a new door gasket was installed at the same time.  With the old gasket, there would be major frost accumulation after just a few days and any boxed items would be limp from the moisture.  It's a civilized scene in there now.

Still working like a charm!

My fridge wants to be your fridge when it grows up!

 

[Ultramatic]

You crack me up Ralph!

 

 

LOL!

 

[cadman]

Ralph, where'd you get the new seal? My GE is terrible about frosting up...

Had to post one of the infamous GE wall refrigerator that's my 'daily driver' down in the Ogden house...

Cory,

 

I contacted Larry at Modern soon after I got the fridge a few years ago and snagged Gem Line gaskets for both doors.   They were not cheap.   I had been dragging my feet about replacing the freezer gasket but recently things really began to get out of hand.

 

I still haven't bothered with the refrigerated section's gasket.  There are logistical issues with that one since it's a tight space where the fridge is located and getting at the bottom of the door is nearly impossible without tilting the whole thing back.
