In the early years of the refrigerator manufacturing history old refrigerators were taken in on trade on a new refrigerator. During WWII refrigerators were not made so after the war there was a pent up demand for any refrigerator as many household still used ice boxes.
This scanned book I believe has a picture and model info for every refrigerator made in the United States up to 1946 and a possible trade in value. Somewhat like a blue book.
This collection will take more time as each scan will need to be cropped. The scans could also be cropped into separate pages

Very, very cool to see that. Though when I went looking for my Stewart Warner fridge in there it just so happens those pages are missing. Pages 192-195 to be specific. Are they missing from the book?

I think I found the missing pages and hopefully they were added correctly. Thanks for the proof reading

Ok, this is just amazing! I just flipped through the first few pages for coldspot. I’ve got an old one that I’ve never been able to get much info on. Now I know! It’s a 1934 model. Looks identical. Travis, yours looks like a 36!

The manual is now all tidied up and made into a pdf. It was a big job at 123 pages, but it does make it somewhat easier to read. Definitely a useful resource to identify pre-war refrigerators!
The download is available at www.cool386.com/ge_service/fridge_trade_in.pdfAs before, I'm hosting it on my own website while I have the space. |

Thank you Cablehack! Spectacular!- I did not smell any smoke with the download so hopefully your location is safe from the wildfires in Australia?
When I copied those books I discovered my WIN XP compatible scanner was not compatible with WIN 7. I then bought two scanners before I was satisfied with the copying quality. I have now posted those copies that I had scanned years ago.
I have one more GE manual that I acquired on my own that I need to scan on my present scanner with WIN 10 which I will try to scan in the next week or so.
This was an old faded brittle filmstrip that I cut into individual frames and scanned with the XP scanner from long ago. I was surprised it copied as well as it did. I recently experimented and was able to put the separate scans into the below PDF using the Microsoft print to PDF function. It is small enuf it can probably stay at the present upload location .
