We had a late '50's Philco Frig with a separate freezer compartment, but very similar insides to this frig. I had forgotten what it looked like! Rumor has it it's still running somewhere...

Is it worth that much?
$2,000 or is the seller just being overly optimistic?

Cannot be certian, but perhaps it could fetch upwards of several thousand dollars. Like all vintag appliances much depends on the market. If someone for some reason MUST have it, and they have the funds/credit then all bets are off.
Considering what people are paying for today's fridges, even designer/commercial models that cannot hold candle in terms of cooling when compared to vintage fridges, a few thousand dollars may be a good deal. Most of these older units were built for and will last the duration.

What an amazing looking fridge!
I just love the inside. It has great scalloping design on the lettering is just great!

Neighbors had one along with a 40" Philco range and one of the squeezer washers. One time the refrigerator door fell off, but the father who was mechanical, along with the two sons holding it, managed to get the thing back on. It was most famous for something that happened in front of it. The mother June was cooking when the father came home. He gave her a kiss, then looked in the pan. He had started, wisely, to walk away when he said that it must have been good the first time it was eaten. He continued walking past the refrigerator and started a right turn to head into the den, but June made a step sideways from the stove with her left foot and while in front of the right side of the refrigerator, swung her leg around and kicked him in the seat of the pants. Between my brother and me that move became known as the "June Wolf around the corner" with the last part understood. She was so accurate that it must not have been the first time. I would never complain about her cooking after she made caramelized sugar icing for a spice cake she baked and served to us.
Nice 'fridge,but methinks a bit optomistic on the price....
I have the fold-out, pop-up sales book for this refrigerator, what a classic! I've always wondered if you turned the handle with the door open if it would fall off. This auction will be one to watch for sure - the seller claims to have seen another Philco go for $4k in another auction but there are no bids on this one yet.
She says: "other than the house, this may be the most valuable thing she owned..." Perhaps, but what kind of washer was there?
