I HAVE NO IDEA AS TO AGE OF THIS FRIDGE BUT IT IS VERY CLEAN AND APPEARS TO BE COMPLETE. PROBABLY FROM THE 50'S? I LIKE THE DEDICATED ICE TRAY COMPARTMENTS.

I'd love something like this, is it available?
I have a similar in my basement. It is also a gas run refrigerator. I even have the original ice tray.
Nice !!
Just a friendly reminder that old refrigerators pose a potential danger and should be "childproofed" because of the door locking mechanism.
From the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission "Refrigerator Safety Act" enacted August 2, 1956:

According to Todd White's website on vintage Servel gas refrigerators, they were manufactured from 1927 to 1956:

i have the same year fridge as this,, it is in great condition,, do rust. or dents, the equip is in perfect condition, and has no leaks,
it is available does anyone know the value??
Bought a 300+ yr old great house on the small dutch island in '79 & 1 of these old "kerosene" fridges was in what was referred to locally as the "slave quarters". Of course it wasn't that old but in good condition & after a little work it worked fine. On islands, the power goes out often & it sure came in handy & always worked. Never quite understood how a flame could make something cold though. It was the only fridge I could count on.
Also liked the old Tilley pump-up early Coleman style lamps that used kerosene instead of petrol. Much safer & just as bright. Can't find them anymore.
Very nice!
