And on its own. Thanks again guys, and it'll have a great home here, Greg!
It's beautiful! Is that a door-opening foot pedal on the right end of the grille?

That's wonderful. Your kitchen looks so much better with a little turquise. Congratulations!

I was just watching her classic dvds.
In the one family sketch, this exact fridge is shown.
The door swung the other way. Same colour everything.
I thought it might be a GE.
What a beauty!
Does it have the same capacity as the new bottom mount freezers?

It's perfect!!
Knowing Greg, I'm sure it's just spotless and will be the highlight of that room - congrats!

hey....
I think that was ours lol
Actually its close but ours was copper brown late 60s through early 70s before mom went green ( avacoado green that is)
I used to get in big trouble sneaking by it and hittin that floor pedal and taking offf. For some reason I found that histerical.
Our matching Stove was copper brown double oven with roll out burners. I think it was Kenmore or at least came from sears.
The washer and dryer..? Yeah, Kenmore and very much copper brown. I wonder where all that stuff went to.

We Had...
...The '59 version of that same fridge, in white. Ours had the turnaround shelves, and no "glamour" overlay on the freezer drawer front. It was also frost-free only in the refrigerator compartment; you had to defrost the freezer (a job that seemed always to fall to Yours Truly). I think GE made total frost-free available in '60 or '61.
But it was a very long-lived unit, giving up the ghost only in the late 1980s, after 30 years of very hard use. Mom is not, shall we say, inclined to coddle appliances. In hands such as yours, a GE of this era should last many, many more years. By the way, you will love the butter compartment; it can keep butter at spreading temperature, yet fresh-tasting. And the step-on pedal for opening the door is a genuinely helpful convenience, unlike the idiotic electronic "features" on today's reefers.
Ya done good.

Very Nice...
The insides look as good as the outsides. BTW, the refrigerators with manual defrost freezers and frost free refrig compartments were called cycle defrosts. The cycle defrost Frigidaires lasted FOREVER. I still see them although they mostly seem to be reduced to garage refrigerator status... I've pretty much never seen one of the older compressors on those crap out. Seems more was forgotten than learned from that old compressor design looking at what's currently out there.
