Stratford Yellow

Very early for color; probably a '54 model.

Link to Frigidaire ad from July '54, for refrigerator in colors.

And here it is in my kitchen!!  The other picture shows the model this one “replaced”, although we’ll switch them out again soon enough.  They are both 1954 models, RT-38.

 

This “new” one is in excellent condition.  Everything works, which is great.  Even the clock works, although it’s a big sluggish and just about ready to give up the ghost.

 

We had a great time on our trip to Cincinnati, and we enjoyed the little antique mall where the stove was located, the Flamingo Haven Antique Mall.

Congrats on getting the stove! I don't often see this size available, especially in something other than white. As partial as I am to turquoise, I think I like the yellow in your kitchen better, but they are both lovely! Will you be rotating between the yellow and blue?

 

[mikael3]

We’ll rotate them in about 6 months.  We’re lucky we have basement storage to allow us a few extra units.

 

And by the way, thank you for posting this.  We NEVER would have found it otherwise.

Nice.. there's a white one at our local Restore right now and they're asking $400 for it.. first time I've ever seen them price anything so high..  I doubt it will sell at that price but you never know..

You are quite welcome. I am always looking on Craigslist and Marketplace (far too much), and I like to forward some of the more unique items. While I am partial to GE, I love this style of Frigidaire. BTW, are you anywhere near Gainesville?

Glad you got it!

It and the Sherwood Green one are both very nice ranges.

I've never been to the Flamingo Haven, though I usually go down Spring Grove Ave. past Mitchell several times a week. I'll have to stop over there soon.

John - so glad you got this beautiful Frigidaire!! It looks great in your kitchen! I have that model in white and it’s one of the best baking stoves I’ve ever used.enjoy that beauty!

Do you mean Gainesville, GA?  That’s more than an hour north of where we live.  We are right in the city of Atlanta.

Yes, Gainesville, GA. That is quite a bit farther than where you are located.
