Does anyone have a picture of a 56 GE Combo fridge?

I need to find the mate for Emma and I'm not sure which one it is. I've seen lots of stuff on fleabay but I'm still not sure what it looks like. It's the one with the revolving shelves. I'm confused on the handle style. I think it's the one with the wider vertical handles. Anybody know for sure?

GE fridge

We had, and my sister has at their cabin my folks original GE from pre 56, probably around 54 or 55. It was a single door model, with an aluminum doored freezer section inside, blue interior, aluminum lift up butter drawers, revolving shelves on a pole and two crispers at the bottom, oh and a meat tray chiller right under the freezer. The door handle was vertical about 2 feet in length and chrome, open for your fingers to go behind only on the right side. The fridge itself was an auto defrost, not frost free, and it was square cornered not rounded. There was also a very similar model our neighbors had with a foot pedal on the left front bottom to open the fridge door hands free.

Thanx Kevin

I thought that was what the handles looked like. Now I know!

What year is that fridge?

The interior is the same as ours was except for our shelves and crisper handles were chrome. I notice that picture looks to have somewhat rounded corners where ours were square
