Up for grabs, 1961 GE Combination, FREE!!!

[geoff]

For your consideration, I have my grandfather's 1961 GE Combination fridge, FREE. Poppy bought this fridge brand new in 1961. He moved to Florida in 1983 and gave this fridge to my parents. My parents have had this fridge since 1983. It still works FLAWLESSLY and quiet. They are trying to downsize since it is just the two of them and MUCH to Dad's chagrin, Mom wants this fridge gone. When I lived home I maintained it by defrosting, washing, and vacuuming the coils. This fridge is COLD. Located in Milford, Connecticut. E-mail me with any Interests. [email protected]. Thanks for your consideration.

Nice fridge. Rare to have hinges on the left, too.

It's older than 1961. It can't be newer than 1956. GE started making them with squared-off cabinets in 1957.

I hope somebody here takes it. Where exactly is it located?

That is a very very nice fridge! The styling doesn't seem too 60s. So I suspect its earlier. 56 seems pretty new for it too. Closer to 1950 Id say.

I love all the features of it. The butter door and all. Just a fantastic well cared for machine!

I believe!

Its a 54 or 55.

Thanks for the responses

I just called my Dad, He is unsure if Poppy bought it new or used but is thrilled that it may be older. It is Located in Milford, CT at my parents house, about 3/10ths of a mile away from my house.

I think it's older than '61 too. I recall my great-aunt had one with the spinning shelves but it looked a bit more modern than this one. I recall her telling me that they bought it a year before I was born, by which she probably meant 1958.

Here's a picture of my 1957 GE Combination

Here's one from around 1951 or 52. Before that, there wasn't that big emblem on the freezer door. Instead, across the width of the door was spelled out G E N E R A L - E L E C T R I C with individual letters and the GE logo between the two words.

OMG Ralph

That's the same model we had when we got our Summer Home on the cape. Pocelain Barge. Had a Great sounding Compressor. Just Gorgeious !!!

Colored interiors showed up in the mid 50's. Since the interior on yours is white, it now seems to be an earlier 50's model. Probably the last of the white interiors, so it's maybe in the '52 to '54 range.

It is a 1954 GE Combo

I looked in my 1954 GE Dealer Catalog and it shows the Model LH-121L......PAT COFFEY
