Here is a Vulcan fridge-freezer on ebay, I do vaguely remember seeing one of these at one time, but does anyone know who actually made them, because Vulcan are mostly known for making heating appliances.

And the inside
Here is the interior

Perhaps...
The handles seem reminiscent of Malleys Whirpool BOL-MOL

The freezer door makes me think of my mothers 1960's Simpson
I was going to say the Westinghouse of the 80's or the Malleys Whirlpool ones.
Vulcan did manufacture the dishwashers, although I understand they were based on a Smeg design. The Dishlex's didnt become part of Southcorp until the late 80's when the Quality took a nosedive.
Mums is about to turn 30 this year and is still Dissshhhhlex Quiet with almost no maintenance.

Nathan,
Very good friends of ours had an old 'Dishlex-Smeg' branded dishwasher in their kitchen for years. It was only replaced 3 or 4 years ago when they renovated and I had heard that this is the design that Vulcan used or manufactured under licence..

A hybrid maybe
You know guys,I agree the handles do seem Malleys Whirlpoolish,(is that a word?), and yet the interior seems a little like the older model Kelvinators, so maybe it is a hybrid,perhaps a Kelvinpool?,or a Whirlinator.
Actually why do fridges come in such strange capacities, i.e. this one is 416 litres, my G.E. is 579, why are they just not even amounts.i.e. 420, 430, 450, 500, I know you can get quite a few models who actually are even amounts, but there are just as many which are not, anyone know why.
Cheers.
Steve.
