Hello all,

Our house came with an old GE fridge but I can't find this exact model online to see how much it's worth. Similar models seem to be fetching a pretty penny so if anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it. There doesn't seem to be a model number anywhere in or on the fridge. It works and is in pretty good condition. Thanks!

My garage beer fridge is very nearly the same fridge. Even has the aluminum GE marked ice cube trays with the levers on top. Prices are all over the place. When I was looking for one I was seeing them from $200-$500 on the local craigslist. I put a "wanted" ad in there and got mine for a $50 bill and a 12 pack of Bud. As with most of these older ones the freezer is always needing defrosting but it does a good enough job of keeping my beer & shine cold..

Don't sell it... Keep it !!!.
I used to have one very similar, and when i finally did want to get rid of it, i couldn't even give it away, and it wound up going to the dump. (and i have been kicking myself ever since for getting rid of it).

P.S. .... in addition to being great for keeping drinks cold, old fridges like that are the best for storing and keeping live bait alive. (new auto-defrost fridges kill the bait).

This one on ebay has an asking price of $150. but it looks like hell compared to yours. 1940's Vintage Antique General Electric Deluxe Refrigerator | eBay It seems old good working and good looking vintage refrigerators have prices in the range of $250. to $1000. from what little I see of them for sale online. That's without digging at the various one's for sale on craigslist. I recall as a kid in the Chicago area a couple of kids got in one of those old type refrigerators that was discarded in a vacant lot. They both suffocated to death. It was a tragedy that is still in my memory of 50 years ago now. I have forever since seen those as a death trap. Once your in that kind of old fridge you can't push the door open to get out. Just keep that in mind if you've got young children around. Best to be safe and remove the door latch if your going to leave it empty and not use it. They can't get in it if it's full of stuff.

Thank you for the warning, Tamrock. When I was a kid there was an episode of Punky Brewster where her best friend hid in one and almost died. Just that show was traumatic enough for me to be extra cautious, we have it secured with a ratchet strap.
Thank you also for looking up the fridge. I can't seem to find this exact model anywhere, but I've seen similar ones in excellent condition go for $4000!!! I'd do a back flip if I could get that much!
