Looks like it may have a suction accumulator there? It is way to big to be the control bulb.

Huh, are the five cuts in the seal to form the radius how they came when bought new? For the replacement seal, would you have to do that yourself?

Very nice fridge! I especially like the freezer doors! If it were me, I'd replace the door gasket. It's in pretty bad shape. The $150 replacement cost can be justified by the fact that you'll probably never have to replace it again. You'll also save money on running costs with a new gasket and you won't have to defrost as often either. The photo of the inside of the freezer shows the accumulator. The thermostat bulb will be much smaller and part of a small feeler tube that is clamped to the evaporator (freezer) and goes directly to the thermostat. Judging by the location of the cold control knob, top center of the fridge, just above the freezer, look for the thermostat feeler tube on the top center of the freezer. It may be sitting inside of a metal tube that runs front to back on top of the freezer. Some Crosleys of the period were like that. Can't wait to see it all painted! Good luck with your fridge, it's a nice one!!
