OC-2's were sold around the world, including Australia. So I went looking and found that indeed they did come here.

The "Ideal Homes Exhibition" in July 1926 had a GE refrigerator on display. trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/246354418?searchTerm=australian%20general%20electric%20refrigerator

They were also available for anyone to buy. nla.gov.au/nla.obj-1125905041/view?sectionId=nla.obj-1245933587&partId=nla.obj-1125969583#page/n67/mode/1up

Wow, thank you so much for sharing these! Is this the first ad that we have found for the OC2? I can’t remember another ad like this before. Either way it is stunning. Absolutely amazing to see this.

I have to keep telling myself that this is a healthy addiction!

It is all in the name of preserving and enjoying these wonderful machines.

I think it must be - all the other promotional material so far has been GE in house publications.
