And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

That thing looks like it's built like a tank. And packed full as well!
Looks nice but the reality is trying to find & remove one specific item - without unloading half-a-shelf amid a litany of choice words. Least ways that's how it is with our "ice box".
My friend moved out of his upstairs apartment and offered it to me back in 1971. In it was his old refrigerator. It must have been 25 years old at that time. I bought a house in 1976 and that refrigerator has been in my basement running continuously since then. They don't make them like that any more. We're on our 4th kitchen refrigerator.
We have a 1948 Frigidaire (by GM) at our summer camp, bought used by my grandfather in the 60's. It gets light use during the season but still works great. These days you're lucky if a fridge lasts 10 years.
Notice how thick the walls and doors are, as well as the mechanical latches. My Grandfather had a propane powered Servel on the farm, and it took at least three stout men to move it anywhere.
Looks like an old Amana. I had one similar for many, many years. Freezer? That's that little box in the lower right corner of the upper compartment. And don't forget. Those things had to be defrosted periodically.
We just replaced our 42-year-old Kenmore bought at a scratch-and-dent sale at Sears all those years ago. . . l think the compressor gave out; and mold was forming because the door-seals had finally worn out.. Got a nice new all-metal Maytag, freezer bottom.
My garage fridge is my wife's grandparents 1950 "General Electric Refrigerating Machine". 72 years and has never had a repair! Keeps the beer cold so don't plan on replacing it anytime soon. (Will probably outlast me anyway as it is a little younger!) Bubbarust
Looks like a.....Shelvador!
ReplyDeleteMy folks had one, and you're right. It was built like a tank.
Built to last a lifetime

ReplyDeleteWhole lot of food to toss out when the 'roaming' blackouts arrive.
ReplyDeleteHad an old Kenmore I bought used for 75 bucks in 1979. Lasted me another 30yrs. Heavy as a boat anchor. Lost 2 deer when it died unbeknownst.
