An oddball model. The interior looks like it's a '55. Did they not have the pull-out freezer drawer until '57?

Correct, the drawer-type of freezer compartment did not appear until 1957. '55 was the first year of the bottom mount, '56 was basically the same except it had the magnetic catches, not mechanical. Here's an ad for the 1956 model.

Thanks for clarifying, Lawrence.

I'm not a fan of bottom freezers with doors, new or old.

What year would this expensive one be?

That one would be a 1956 - it has the magnetic catch on the refrigerator door.

Yes, the copper & aqua color scheme also indicates '56.

That's a ridiculously high priced ebay fridge. It doesn't even appear to have the pull-out freezer baskets.

It does have a butter conditioner, though. I wish my '57 had one.
