Memories....
Tim -
That little GE is one we had (in White) very briefly when I was a kid.
A few weeks before I turned six years old, we moved into our first house; we'd been apartment-dwellers before that. The house represented quite a bit of scrimping and saving on my parents' part, and after the closing, they didn't have enough money for a new refrigerator, something the house didn't come with.
My mom's best friend came to the rescue with a secondhand unit belonging to her friends across the street from her.
Sadly, we'd been in the house less than six months when a faulty furnace flue set it afire. While damage was confined to two rooms, one of those rooms was the kitchen, meaning R.I.P. little GE.
When the place was repaired, the kitchen got a nearly total remodel; we kept the '48 Loewy Frigidaire range, which was fine after cleaning. That's when Mom got the 1958 GE bottom-mount Combination which was the envy of all who saw it, and which served for thirty years.
All this was over half a century ago, and I recognized that little GE as soon as I saw it.
