Neat old ad!  Looks like they have all the bells and whistles on that one, including the door mounted tray, and evaporator door that mine is missing!

Very nice!

That Westinghouse condensing unit looks to be complete. I have seen them in soft drink coolers, where the compressor unit was in a compartment below the cold drink storage area. There wasn't any other cover over the compressor.

 

Do you have the rest of the refrigerator?

Other fridge resources...

I would say that compressor is from the early 1940's.  Older ones were SO2 and painted grey from the factory.  This one is painted black and does not appear to have the high-side float valve as a SO2 unit would have.

 

Here is another forum dedicated to GE Monitor Top fridges,  but with an active "other antiques" area: https://monitortop.freeforums.net/board/13/

 

Also there is a group on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/1223144641055129/ 

 

I think that your machine was a a condensing unit for either an early 40's Westinghouse fridge, or possibly a cold drink vending machine. 

The earlier refrigerators had the evaporator mounted under and attached to the condensing unit base. Yours has lines to connect an external evaporator. 

 

Here is a video of a Coke cooler with similar compressor:
