old refrigerator

[Drunk]

I picked up this old fridge the other day. It dose not have any brand name on it and I have had no luck in finding any pic's on the net that look like this one.
So I have come to you guys hoping that someone might know what they are looking at.

The fride is about 5ft6inch in hight and probly 4ft wide. The frame is all made of wood with good old thick tin over that. The electric motor has been changed out sometime in the last 30 years so that will not give any hints on what it might have been. One person looked at it and thought it might be as early as the 1930's. But I am not conviced.






Thanks for your time

I'm thinking its from the late 40s early 50s. It looks like maybe a commercial product made more for a small restaurant or café. Doesn't look like one you would find in the everyday home in those days. That's just my guess and I'm not sure why it has that push to start, pull to stop function on it?

That looks to be on what looks to be an ice cube/freezer area of the fridge.

I agree with the date. With it being a side by side and the teal color, i'd say it dates from the late 40's to mid 50's to me. As for the brand? No idea. You can try contacting these guys- Antique Vintage Finished Refrigerators they may be able to help you out.

edit- The push/pull stop feature was so you could defrost the freezer portion I believe
