1926 GE
Last week we explored retro fridges. The prices were better than new run of the mill high end appliances, but still too high for the budget conscious (and poor). We thought we might do better with actual antique appliances, but alas, we were wrong. Shipping costs alone could total nearly as much as that little baby on sale at Sears.
Fully restored models range from $3000-15,000. Ouch! The restoration process means they are as good as new, both internally and externally. Insulation and parts are replaced, making them energy efficient. Best of all, they are being saved from the landfill.
You can always find inexpensive vintage appliances locally on Craigs, but we wonder how much it would cost to restore them properly?

There’s a decent selection of 50’s reproductions, but I haven’t seen anything like the one in the photo. Do you know of anyone doing that?
Elmira and Heartland appliances have the closest thing to it, as far as I know. We’ll be covering those lines soon. The thing is, you can find anything….if you’re willing to pay for it.
