I actually own the model that is in your first link - I think that is 1945 model - I have to double check the year - I might be wrong - but I do know that it's a 40's model and not a 50's like the auction description says. Either way - it's a good lookin' fridge !

bygted, that Crosley is the same one my family had when I was a very small boy. I recall the water dispenser and door. It met an early end around '64 or '65 when we went away for a weekend and the thermostat went out. By the time we got back the compressor had burned out and scorched the floor in the process. As I recall, it was replaced with a Kelvinator side by side.

Nice turquoise GE. A little pricey!

The "Daily Use GE 'Fridge" in Bygteds picture is the same type used at WPGC-AM-FM transmitter site in PG county Md when I worked there over 20yrs ago.Employees kept their lunches and snacks in it.Also there was a hotplate,microwave and a toaster oven at the site.At that time it was an FCC requirement that a station had to have food cooking and storage facilitiers at transmitter site that were manned.also a bathroom!Was in the FCC master R&R book that was kept at each manned post.(studio and transmitter)The studio had two larger fridges-were newer forget the brand.The studio had a little kitchen that had a small stove with oven,sink with disposer,and a microwave.And there was a bathroom.For a while the transmitter was manned 24 hrs.The studio was always manned 24hrs.Then the tranmsitter went to two shifts.Now it has new equipment and is unmanned-don't know if that old GE box is still there.There is also a 50Kw unmanned AM tranmsitter site.the old site is FM only now.
