Anyone Here

have a picture of this model or know around what year it would be? I may be interested. Round or square? Mechanical or magnetic latch?

Sent poster a reply asking if they could provide a couple pictures.

The PB12 dates from 1941

Here is the picture of it from the 1941 GE Refrigerator Catalog….PAT COFFEY

Wow, that would be a find, especially in working condition. I wonder if it is an SO2 system, or if it runs on R12?

I did some searching of the model # online and came up with pics of the same fridge. But I figured something was amiss as the ad states 1950s and I knew this was a much earlier style. Anyone know how long it was produced?

Maybe the owners don't realize how old it is? There's a PB-12 fridge on eBay now (described as "1930s") at an opening bid of $999!

Strikes me as an updated iteration of the double-door monitor tops.

 

Makes sense for a church kitchen(?) since they were likely feeding crowds.

 

Certainly worth getting if it's complete, for anyone who has the space for it.  I'm betting it has a lot of years of service left in it.

this is INTERESTING...wonder if GE even made a PB-12 A2 in the 1950s?
