It looks mint!
I wonder why so many fridges from this period have ended up with the top shelf in the wrong spot.

That looks like the '47 Frigidaire I have, but much nicer shape. Mine is missing the freezer door. It is model DI-7, and has a painted finish. This one may have the porcelain finish, or have been repainted. It could be a larger model than mine.

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">Looks like a "P" model...porcelain. Maybe not. Those old Frigidaire porcelain models always cleaned up like new.</span>
One thing different than mine is that the skirt under the tilt out bin, and the bottom side trim, is white. Those parts are black on mine.
Nice Old FD Refrigerator
This was my Grand Mothers first refrigerator, My Mother bought it for her parents to pay back some college money in the mid 40s.
It lasted nearly 20 years till it was replaced by a Sears Coldspot two door cycle defrost ref in 1964 when the relay and then the sealed system failed on the FD.
This one looks like it has been repainted, which is probably why the kick-plate is painted white instead of the original black.
